July was a hot month to be out working in my flower garden, so I spent time organizing my jump drives. Last year six 4th grade teachers created promethean flipcharts for reading, writing, language skills, and spelling. It was a lot of work! I brought them all home, more accurately renamed them, and reworked the first four weeks of Unit 1. I also pulled out the language skills from the writing lessons and renamed them; they will be much easier to locate now. My jumpdrives are organized and ready to go!
I spent time working on my Math prometheans, too. I added vocabulary to each lesson, and pages to review homework each day. Reflection has taught me that I don't have to correct each day's homework. But, we do need to go over it each day in class before beginning the next lesson. The practice of homework will remain just that ~ practice. It will be more beneficial for students to review and clarify skills, and will save me a hunk of time each night. I still need to add the workbook pages to the flipcharts when my work computer is ready; my other option is to use the document camera to project student work.
