How has my teaching changed since becoming a TLIIST fellow?
This year I incorporated "Ice Balloons" activity into my beginning of the year ice-breaker for students. I used this activity to bring awareness of the importances of being able to make inferences and to predict (make a hypothesis) the outcome of a problem. Processing skills have always been a challenge for my campus across curriculum growth. I modeled this set up for my campus K-7 teachers, so they can see "Stations in Action" on how to embed processing skills in their lab stations. I also did this activity at the beginning of the year with my students. My students embraced each activities as we discussed their "take-away" from each station.
Lunar Wheel: Students were given the task of sequencing the events in the lunar cycle to give them a better understanding of the overlap that occurs in between each phase.
