Alim Impact day

Today we shared our Alim results and presentations of how it ran in our schools.

Here is the slideshow I presented.

We then did some fun activities that involved group work and collaborating...  this was when we got into groups of 4 and raced to circle numbers in order... (look on Diane's slide show for the sheet)

A TASK to get every group to look like this Day 3 of school.

If I am going to get students to talk every day of class, then I need to teach them how to work in groups and teach them how to talk to one another.  This is my goal week one of school.  Lots of years ago, Beth Esposito gave me this task (I think it is an AVID task) that I’ve adapted.  It is magic.  It makes groups look like the pics above with little effort on my part.  I’ve used this activity in both middle and high school and it works great at both levels.  Here is the task.  I call it the 100# task.

Other teachers then discussed good websites they have used.
