T1
Work with my teacher and classmates to create a positive classroom community
Lesson 1
Use the seating chart on the board to find your seat :-)
Welcome to Room 202. My name is Mr. Olsen. I am one of three teachers on the Sixth Grade Math Team.
I have been a teacher for 22 years and love helping students learn new things.
I am married. My wife and I have four children -- two are in middle school.
My favorite color is blue. My favorite food is chocolate.
When I'm not teaching, I like being outdoors! Here are a few of the things I like to do outside: biking, swimming, camping, and watching my daughters play sports.
Let's take some time to learn about each other!
In a moment, I will pass out a sheet of paper with nine different squares on it. Your goal is to find nine DIFFERENT classmates who can do or who "match" a box.
When you find someone, be sure to introduce yourself and then neatly write your classmates name. During our debrief, I will be calling on students to share who they met.
Lesson 2
Boosting Math. Youcubed. Jo Boaler. Growth Mindset
1. Everyone can learn math to high levels
2. It is really important that you believe in yourself. Keep going!
3. Struggle and mistakes are really important.
4. Speed is not important. What is important is to think deeply and visually, make connections
Lesson 3
1. When I get stuck, how can I get help?
2. What do I do if I am absent?
3. What are the class rules?
To answer these questions, let's go to Google Classroom > Stream to look at our class' syllabus.
Procedures are things you will often need to do when you are in a class. Procedures tell students how to do the simple, everyday things -- so that everyone can do the routine stuff and stay focused on learning the new stuff.
Let's take the next seven minutes to review and discuss the first half of our class procedures -- so everyone knows how to accomplish the routine tasks.
