Milo and Georgie
Minds On
Imagine you are with your family in a crowded place.
What strategies might you use so you don't get separated from them?
Let's Read!
Learning Goals
- I can express personal thoughts and feelings about what has been read
- I can sort ideas and information to express my thinking
- I can identify and order main ideas and supporting details, initially with support
- I can create multimedia artifacts to communicate and share my thinking
- I can problem solve and work as part of a team
- I can describe the relative locations of objects on concrete maps created in the classroom (1)
- I can identify some services and service-related occupations in a community (1)
- I can describe the relative locations and the movements of objects on a map (2)
- I can draw simple maps of familiar settings, and describe the relative locations of objects on the maps (2)
- I can describe movement from one location to another using a grid map (3)
- I can estimate, measure, and record the distance, using non-standard units (1,2, 3)
- I can estimate, measure, and record the perimeter of two-dimensional shapes, through investigation using standard units (2)
Let's Make!
There are plenty of artifacts we can create to share our learning!
How might we create Georgie's string story?
String Stories
Watch the video and practice the sample string story.
How might you plan, design and create your own string story to re-tell Georgie and Milo's adventures?
You can use the template below to help design your story
How might we get Georgie home and describe her path?
How might you draw and describe Georgie's path?
How might you create and describe Georgie's path?
How might you code a robot to help describe Georgie's path?
How might you program a path for Georgie that takes the shape of a ___________?
How might you program a path for Georgie that has a perimeter of?
How might you identify some services and service related occupations in Georgie's community?
Reflect and Connect
Think about it:
What skills and competencies are students developing while learning?
How might we document, share, reflect and connect with our learning communities in order to drive thinking forward?
Create, reflect upon and share learning via a documentation panel or audit trail
How might this panel provide you more insight to what is happening in the learning environment?
How might this panel spark dialogue and discussion about teaching and learning practices?
How might this panel empower learners (students and teachers)?
How might you caption the learning? How might the students?
What might you continue to wonder in order to drive learning forward?
Document and share learning with a learning story
Forest of Reading learning journals and badges
What if students documented their learning with a learning journal created with Google Slides?
What if students got badges for the skills they used through Forest of Reading learning opportunities?
