grant

Hi my name is Mrs.Jackie Jandl. I have 15 busy students this year with lots on indiviudal needs. This is my 32 year as an educator at Montrose School!! **I Love Teaching!!** This also is my second year with this grant. I have learned so much in using all this technology. This wiki space will be my Portfolio. I am going to be working on the reading and math achievement.

Today Cate and I visited about my plan for this year. We talked about how I can use technology to get them interested in reading using the senteo, notecards, different websites.etc. 1. We looked at my achievement pre-test in reading and decided I needed to find a standard to concentrate on. I am using many reading strategies to help my students like to read. 2. This year the Juniors and the fifth graders will be blogging about many things. I will use a rubrics to score their blogs. 3. Project with the book Hatchet. 4. We looked at my classes for this year. I will be attending October 9th, October 11, and November 22

Each student blogged to the Montrose City about how much they enjoyed Spud Days. Had our first meeting with the Junior class. The students will be assigned blogging partners. Our first assignment was to introduce themselves. We will be blogging about our story __The Hatchet.__ The two classes will be doing many activites through out the year. Attended an achievement session in SF. We went through how to set up our tests for this year. We also spent time on looking at different standards we need to work on. I will be working on some Math standards. The Juniors and fifth graders meet in the computer lab to begin their blogging. It was amazing to me how well everyone worked together. We still have some things to work out with the site, but it was wonderful. The fifth graders had to tell them 5 facts about the story. We have not gotten a resopnd from them yet. What a great way to use technology. I just can't believe how time flies. The fifth graders are still using technology daily. We either use computers, laptops, smartboard ect. We also have been blogging with their B~friends. It has been very interesting getting everything to work, find the site, respond, and remember the book we are reading. It has been fun. The Junors have been great. Kate visited my classroom on Thursday. We discussed many options with my project. I will be working on M.N1 or 5R.4.1. I enjoy her so much!! Today we were interview for a project that will be given to the DOE dealing with the 21 century grant. It was so great to see the Juniors and fifth grades blog with each other. They are so engaged with this project. Today the fifth gradrs told the Jr. their most exciting Thanksgiving. WOW!! Our classes were taped today for our state department. It was for the 21 century skills. The students stayed so engaged and love to blog. I am so proud of them. Happy New Year. Today the 5ht grade students told their Jr. friends how the book ended, their favorite part and what they did not like about the book. This has been so much fun. They see the good side and the bad side of technology. (and me screaming!!!) Today I attended a workshop on Formative Assessment. I really do learn something new everytime I attend. I did bring some great ideas back to my classroom. I have been writing a learning targets dailly. The students truely do read these and comment when they are not on the board. Today the Juniors and fifth graders went to the V.Lake for our survival lesson. It was awesome. They had a lesson on starting a fire without matches. To day we begin our Dakota Step Testing. I hope all our hard work pays off. __**4-9-09**__ Today my students started a Power Point on an explorer. They needed to have four slides. I gave them a rubric to go by. They are so at easy with this. They also blogged to their Junior friends. It has been so much fun for them. Today Cate visited my room and went over my project with me. She also gave me some ideas to help my project. We did stop and ask the students what they learned from Mrs.Jandl going to this class. Wow!! I was blown away with their responses. I am very glad I have gone outside my box!! I hope to continue doing so. The fifth and sixth graders are engaged by making a math game. We set up a rubric for each of them and rules to go by. What a wonderful sight today as they began the assignment. Our highschool teacher visited and was amazed at the higher thinking skills these 5th and 6th graders are using. I am proud of them. 5-11_ Today we tried out our math games. **Wow!! 21 Century Skill here we come!!** We invited a high school math class and the students in Study Hall to join us. The biggest complaint was they couldn't use calculators. One Senior stated this is harder than Pre -calc. Tee Hee!! This was a great project!!
