Spotlight Moment Which particular strategy have you found most effective this year in engaging students in understanding mathematics? Explain why you think it is so…
Learning By DoingWhen you realize that people learn naturally from the life they experience every day, it won’t surprise you that the brain is set up to learn better with active, hands-on endeavors. Many students request less bookwork and more hands-on activities. Students are more willing to do bookwork if there is a project or activity as part of the lesson. Building models and displays, fieldtrips and fieldwork, hands-on experiments, and craft activities are all strategies that help students learn. Page 4
What is it our students must learn? a. b. c. d. e. f. g.

Time to head home…. What’s the new target for this year?
Create teams of same course teachers Please bring your handouts with you.
Group Task Select a standard you will be teaching. Look up the SOL in the Curriculum Framework. Change the Essential Knowledge and Skills column to letters. Create a ‘FAST-FIVE’ assessment that addresses each EKS. (Note: try to include open-ended items)… Enjoy working with your team.
Thank you for all you do, for all the children! ~Dan
