TamaraParticipantThis is always my focus as well. I think getting to know students well enough to be able to scaffold just enough that they can be successful, but not overdoing it. Knowing accommodations like speech to text software, graphing software, calculator use and visual math websites is so good. Develop a great relationship with special education staff as well as your english teachers.

TamaraParticipantIntroduce new experiences to children by placing novel objects in the environment. Let them explore before they begin to record their experiences and observations. The teacher should be the observer and make notes as they explore. Give a generalized prompt after a bit, such as, notice something new. Have them categorize their wonderings into "How do I find out? " groupings.in reply to: Launching Investigations #699386

TamaraParticipantI did a one time observation for Budburst.com. I sent in pictures and point in life cycle of a dandelion for both flowers and fruit. I had difficulty getting the pictures uploaded and with my internet connection. A problem that I anticipate my students might have is figuring out how to match a common plant name with a scientific name. They will also need to find out latitude and longitude of their location. It would help younger students to explicitly teach these tasks. I imagine that it would help children to be more observant of common elements in their world once they understand why it is important to pay attention.in reply to: Symbiosis in the Soil – Classroom Case Study #699365

TamaraParticipantMy realization of how I became more and more able to be specific the longer I listened. Practicing and then reflecting bring the concept home in the mind.in reply to: Encouraging Observations #698385
