Referring back to my original email- if you would like to be a part of sending me a video of you reading a story- please let me know.  You can do one or more- let me know if you have any tech issues.  This will be a great way for our kids to stay connected to us, and hopefully comforting.

 

Important

Please be sure you are filling in the google doc reporting the communications you are having with parents.  I am hoping that we can some tighter direction and resources for parents this week.  Specials- as you get ideas that can be communicated and done at home, please update the doc.  I can assist in eblasting links, activities, videos, etc.

SEL Conference

The district principals and social workers recently attended a conference at RESA about the topic of social/emotional learning.  This was a great fit as we start to think about how the new school improvement plan is going to change in moving to focusing on the whole child.  We discussed the 5 basic tenants that include Identity and Agency, Emotional Regulation, Cognitive Regulation, Social Skills, and Public Spirit.  We will be discussing some of these things at our PD on March 27 in preparation to see where we stand in resources as we prepare for next year.

5 Topics for Student Podcasts

Podcasting can be a great way to get students to record their own thoughts and to record conversations with other people like classmates or community members. Just like a writing assignment it can be hard for students to decide what to podcast about. Here’s a handful of suggestions to get started.

  • Book review. Rather than writing a book report, have students record their thoughts about books they’ve recently read.
  • DIY or Q&A podcast. Students are knowledgeable about lots of things. Ask them to share their knowledge about a favorite topic.
  • Conversations in a second language. This can be a good way for students to practice a second language with a partner.
  • School news. Students can record school announcements. Let them add to it with commentary about neat things happening in your school community.
  • Conversations about community. Instead of the traditional “interview your parents about their lives” journalism assignment, have students talk to a few people about important moments in the history of their local communities.

If you want to learn how to start a podcast and get more ideas for using podcasts in your classroom, join me on Tuesday at 7pm ET for Classroom Podcasting 101.

Ugh! It’s Time to Spring Forward – Here’s Why We Do It

As I Tweeted earlier today, it’s a deflating feeling when you realize that you have to move your clocks forward this weekend. That’s especially true of you’re the parent of toddlers who have been on a sleep strike for a few weeks.

If you or your students are wondering why we (most of us in North America) have to change our clocks this weekend, here are few short explanations.

Even though it is not about daylight saving time, this TED-Ed lesson about the standardization of timezones is worth watching.

Sweet Lessons on the Making of Maple Syrup

This week we had a couple of relatively warm days here in Maine. In fact it was so warm (40F) that I rode my bike outside on Thursday. It was on that ride that I noticed sap buckets and hoses on some maple trees. That reminded me of some videos about making maple syrup that I shared last year and prompted me to look for some new ones too.

Ever Wonder How Maple Syrup is Made? is a new video from Highlights. The succinct video shows a mix of the old way of using buckets to collect sap and the modern method of using hoses.

My friend Gardner Waldeier AKA Bus Huxley on YouTube collects maple sap to make maple syrup. He does it the old fashioned way and he made a video about the process. Gardner’s video shows viewers how he collects maple sap and turns it into maple syrup. In the video he explains why maple sap is collected at this time of year, how much sap he’ll collect from a large tree, and just how much sap it takes to make a gallon of maple syrup. You also get a nice tour of Gardner’s woodlot.

Maple Syrup the Modern Way is a three minute video about the process commercial producers use to make syrup.
