Field+Testing

I asked Mrs. Porter from Parkview Elementary to review the third grade materials. She is a veteran teacher in my local school district. She was very impressed and suggested using some of the lessons with the Smartboards at her school. See email comments in Rich Text Format Below.

Mrs. Wheeler is also a veteran teacher in my district teaching at Oolitic Middle School (6th grade). I asked her to review the fifth grade materials. She had some comments and questions about the time allowed for each lesson, which I responded to and granted her permission she requested to share the lesson as well with others in her building. Her email comments are also provided here in Rich Text Format.

I field tested Day 2 Grade 3 mini-lesson with a third grader (Kitty) I was acquainted with. The field testing I did with her helped me to modify the student instruction sheet for that activity (I had inadvertantly left of a key step!) and also I changed the activity sheet to give more guidance to the students on WHERE to draw their images. I was perplexed as to why she drew her moons in the corners of the spaces. I have provided her actual product under Student Models and Products and provided a modified version of the Birthday Moon Activity at Student Learning Materials.
