Online Practice

As a PLC, we have created resources for students to use to practice at home in preparation for tests.

The first one is Quizlet. The account is free for teachers to sign up and students do not need a login. It's great for vocabulary practice. Things your students can do with Quizlet:

  • Take practice tests and receive immediate feedback on performance
  • Play Scatter: version of memory where the student matches definitions to the term while a timer goes
  • Play Gravity: answer questions before an asteroid hits the planet
  • Flashcards: digital versions of flashcards that can include pictures and pronunciations, if you choose to add them

The second is a newer option to my school district. We have begun GAFE training for our students and one of the apps you can use is Google Forms. Google Forms is great for working like a review guide because students can practice both vocabulary, labeling and processes. We have it set up so students can use a Form as many times as they desire. When paired with Flubaroo, students can receive instant feedback on their performance after you have created an answer key.

Nitrogen and Carbon Cycle Foldable

I was inspired to create foldables for my 6th graders on the carbon and nitrogen cycles after viewing one created by the blog " The Inspired Classroom ".  She had created a much cuter one for the water cycle.  Please forgive my pictures, descriptions, and handwriting. :)     If you would like a free copy of the nitrogen foldable or carbon foldable , you can find it at My Teachers Pay Teachers.

Pinterest: Find and Save Ideas

This is another one of those posts that I'm not sure why I have not written about it before! As a new teacher, I did not have a PLC for the first few years. There were some ideas I was able to borrow from teachers in my building, but I had to create my curriculum. That's where Pinterest became a huge time saver! How it works: Add the Chrome extension - as long as a picture is on the website you would like to save, you can create a brand-new pin. Download the app to your phone- sift through already created pins when you have downtime to get inspired. Use the website - You can create new pins like you would with a browser extension and find existing pins. It's easier to organize your pins, send pins, and add collaborators on the website (in my opinion). You can check out my science board here for some ideas I love and have been inspired by. You will also notice some of my creations as well.
