5 Pinterest Collaborative Boards: Teaching & Education


I must confess that I am now an official Pinterest addict and I have spent more than an hour of my waking day to devote to building content of my awesome Pinterest teacher boards since its inception in November. The great news is that I'm now opening them up for collaboration!
 
What are Pinterest Collaborative Boards? They are actually boards on Pinterest that allow other pinners to pin content on the board. Yes, it's that plain and simple! I believe that I have great colleagues who are also Pinterest users (like YOU!) who would want to share pins centered around teaching and special education. Collaborative boards on Pinterest are a great way to share your information to other teachers and networkers, while also generating great back links to your blog or website.
 
My Pinterest boards are now open, please leave a comment on the latest post and I will certainly add you. Let's start sharing!

2nd Advisory Book Report Project



Dear Students,
.
This is the 2nd book report that you are doing this school year. The dates that these projects will be due this winter is January 16, 2009 (The Gods and Goddesses of Olympus). In the SSR Extension Activities below you will find different options for you to chose from. You will read your book for 30 minutes each night (once the book has been approved by me) for one month. At the end of that month you will complete one of the projects in the SSR Activities and present them to the class on each of the given dates. You can only use each project idea one time. They are very fun and creative ways to present a book. I am looking forward to your presentations.
.
You have the option of selecting which activity to complete; however, the assessment criteria for the activities are already established. You can refer to the SSR Extension Activities (which was given to you during the first week in school) for a detailed list of non-negotiable items, along with the stipulated criteria. As part of this section, you also complete a Reading Log. Here's the Reading Log where you should complete an entry every time you read from your SSR book.
.
Most of you are making a "Drawings Book" for the book you are reading this 2nd Advisory, The Gods and Goddesses of Olympus. This should be a series of at least 5 drawings showing the major parts of the plot and include a written explanation of each drawing. Each explanation should be 2-3 sentences long.
.
Along with this, you must make an oral presentation of your book report in class. Make sure you are reading and that you come prepared for these presentations!!
.
Have fun reading your books!
.
Sincerely,
MS. ANGALA

WELCOME SY 2014-2015!

Teachers & parents tell me that this blog is like a "One-Stop-Shop", here's why ---

There are tons of lesson plans, printables, activity sheets and other resources that special education teachers can find in this blog! It's all for you to get the lil ones engaged in their seats and lovin' what they're doin'!

This blog is also our class portal to communicate information about our class, to archive course materials, to publish the course curriculum, syllabus, class rules, lessons, homework assignments, rubrics, and presentations. Yes, everything is in this blog for our students to review our lessons at home!

Parents love the transparency and the ability to access class materials in this blog. It's easy for parents to follow along as my students post their work. This holds true for their psychologists, social workers, general education teachers, and other special ed providers. This is another way for us to collaborate with the Multi-Disciplinary Team members of our students!

This class blog also serves as our students' e-portfolio. Our students collect the work they want to consider highlighting and then publish those that represent their best work. They then reflect on their work as they share them to their parents and teachers for positive comments and feedback. It's very easy for them to look back over their work and see the growth they've accomplished!

We invite you to please leave a message to our students. Beside the tiny envelope just after each entry is the comments link. Your positive feedback will surely encourage our students to do their best in school.

Thank you for visiting our class portal!
