Student-centered activities include students in planning, implementation, and assessments. Involving the learners in these decisions will place more ownership on them, which is a good thing. Teachers must change their leadership style from directive to consultative -- from "Do as I say" to "Based on your needs, let's co-develop and implement a plan of action.</span><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjH6mRUx0a9b4nmejg9dENAmb2wMFridb07vqH5i0CWmxtKU2Cd19g3mUlYOSyWx5x5q3OeK5x9e7b6HRmstIChXpunOgLlbpnoX2pjR3WjOLbUjt7N2v3BqaS3wbt2zO3gaob7DV9PmAl2xUk6VzsaBmYGaN22SKtWHItoOfFk_Lqt57_TD0k8kbQF=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjH6mRUx0a9b4nmejg9dENAmb2wMFridb07vqH5i0CWmxtKU2Cd19g3mUlYOSyWx5x5q3OeK5x9e7b6HRmstIChXpunOgLlbpnoX2pjR3WjOLbUjt7N2v3BqaS3wbt2zO3gaob7DV9PmAl2xUk6VzsaBmYGaN22SKtWHItoOfFk_Lqt57_TD0k8kbQF=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">While reading the novel, <i>Vincent Shadow, Toy Inventor</i>, which contained a chapter about an auction, my students developed an intense interest in the auction process.

It builds students' confidence by signaling to them that they and their work are worth sharing and celebrating with others. It's a reward for their hard work, but also an acknowledgement that they made something new, incredible and worthwhile.

We shared our published work with the first grade class via Zoom.</span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEidAHxSRw_YxeX0lywIOp7RLDAODmfTE0fTroWAlzZLVdT-OeCuVn2osC8K01fCdGaHftUKMh2nOXGygh7X2gtJ1MUXdbz4TBbfvemR0rEWlejWlFGLC_OgJ3UQBKwk5yMbR0j4tkO6l-8WtK3gNS2yqE3eB4tLIfK-4SMMwExmYb1F__yjeHf3P3ag=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEidAHxSRw_YxeX0lywIOp7RLDAODmfTE0fTroWAlzZLVdT-OeCuVn2osC8K01fCdGaHftUKMh2nOXGygh7X2gtJ1MUXdbz4TBbfvemR0rEWlejWlFGLC_OgJ3UQBKwk5yMbR0j4tkO6l-8WtK3gNS2yqE3eB4tLIfK-4SMMwExmYb1F__yjeHf3P3ag=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwWvM7c8mTdUpqF6hTphZwXExePUQt-zYRDBntO7AzakmD-nX4zVIefi2R2iFvONR3Oq7XVqTMYSNCUpj-2F_YRJ0rCc2H8gsTzbgcJZdQgEx1j3wg55Jrqfwh03NdNGhUbvm2mnmw6sQTh7I-UZSIeQ1JRmAjZKXZqIs9N0Y1gENni_DO0ioU_kcX=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgwWvM7c8mTdUpqF6hTphZwXExePUQt-zYRDBntO7AzakmD-nX4zVIefi2R2iFvONR3Oq7XVqTMYSNCUpj-2F_YRJ0rCc2H8gsTzbgcJZdQgEx1j3wg55Jrqfwh03NdNGhUbvm2mnmw6sQTh7I-UZSIeQ1JRmAjZKXZqIs9N0Y1gENni_DO0ioU_kcX=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Being able to hold their finished classbook in their hands and, better yet, hand it over to someone else to read and enjoy is a thrilling experience.

They used all the information they learned about the various parts of a castle to build and decorate our class castle. The results were spectacular and we all had a wonderful experience throughout the building process. Please enjoy the video we created to share our castle creation with others.</span><br /></div><h1 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="479" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JgwRLhQhG2M" width="577" youtube-src-id="JgwRLhQhG2M"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /> </h1>Seabury Second Gradehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12248633424133605043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974625058039060364.post-4688973445517645092021-11-02T19:18:00.001-07:002021-11-08T11:26:09.984-08:00What is MakerSpace, anyway?<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">MakerSpace is a place where children explore, create new things, or improve things that already exist. These spaces foster open-ended learning. Children naturally tinker; they build things and take things apart – especially when they're allowed the freedom to work without direction. MakerSpaces encourage natural creativity.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiZCuiM1vSHkegHgIr8KR-j9QhMcNIIDgGNx8qdF01f1UKKtw8RBFOijYYAz9i9Bic5Q0n-UrPQjYy7F53rdM-HLBpghxcODbQCURehtwg6WzM1uY2I4jShDaQJlEnhPHZ_Oo0myVpTQjqX1Xg3Ct4sFYysoqoE5iuc_LLTrluL67HpSrxV8_0Rr86T=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiZCuiM1vSHkegHgIr8KR-j9QhMcNIIDgGNx8qdF01f1UKKtw8RBFOijYYAz9i9Bic5Q0n-UrPQjYy7F53rdM-HLBpghxcODbQCURehtwg6WzM1uY2I4jShDaQJlEnhPHZ_Oo0myVpTQjqX1Xg3Ct4sFYysoqoE5iuc_LLTrluL67HpSrxV8_0Rr86T=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhR_h9yhN9C0Vdwwu-NYMvsY12u6mj8ZuKNh6sv3b3oTK5lGvXCEKpH3OlcX-c0rhhCVR2VAq5vko90N0aDAK4r8hmfXK1wqaEzuR_2ZQR0UqLmpcJ66UkwAPtbEgFSLXe1sDhO59rjDRPtq1Laq4fg3nurMpL8AFstV073kv5nujs1jzy_jG5nH50D=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhR_h9yhN9C0Vdwwu-NYMvsY12u6mj8ZuKNh6sv3b3oTK5lGvXCEKpH3OlcX-c0rhhCVR2VAq5vko90N0aDAK4r8hmfXK1wqaEzuR_2ZQR0UqLmpcJ66UkwAPtbEgFSLXe1sDhO59rjDRPtq1Laq4fg3nurMpL8AFstV073kv5nujs1jzy_jG5nH50D=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">Students practice critical thinking skills, challenge their imaginations, and come up with solutions to real-world problems.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhYKxxrxAL6L8Lzq9_A8W55qZP0iBASPbSV_BVQzD5tATi7L14N3o2EOdOvnn1nifZqGJGKa6gMjQwQ3p9wS1Phi0qz4p3v0AzYKpwdsBEuLKdBbRnSvFW9njefcUIRUcAVsgISH1AN91bmpZH4LJG5ruT-zYbb04IycMuvkhpwP6cuEWsMQLV42tNN=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhYKxxrxAL6L8Lzq9_A8W55qZP0iBASPbSV_BVQzD5tATi7L14N3o2EOdOvnn1nifZqGJGKa6gMjQwQ3p9wS1Phi0qz4p3v0AzYKpwdsBEuLKdBbRnSvFW9njefcUIRUcAVsgISH1AN91bmpZH4LJG5ruT-zYbb04IycMuvkhpwP6cuEWsMQLV42tNN=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhlPGWqbI0cXP8mwTykC7H8brEJqcfI-jRD8ezK0bCcGfVYJS0Qbd4Iu8QOTZrBc8-RYv4jGuKGeyngj947mU99HTW8YUmUeXvwTwu8ZtvWCslE0_A-hw2bf2d69KUinzicUdNunUaa6OrNSrkuaCEltiegAZHqm0IE6YGYFfYsL4Bugw9nGBAxKRxo=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhlPGWqbI0cXP8mwTykC7H8brEJqcfI-jRD8ezK0bCcGfVYJS0Qbd4Iu8QOTZrBc8-RYv4jGuKGeyngj947mU99HTW8YUmUeXvwTwu8ZtvWCslE0_A-hw2bf2d69KUinzicUdNunUaa6OrNSrkuaCEltiegAZHqm0IE6YGYFfYsL4Bugw9nGBAxKRxo=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;">MakerSpaces are really helpful for STEAM related activities.

Each student began with 10 gold coins. Each peasant gave the vassals 6 coins for the protection of their crops. From each peasant's payment, the vassal kept one piece and gave 5 to his lord, the noble. From each vassal's payment of fidelity, or loyalty, the noble kept 2 pieces and gave three to the queen. In the end, the peasants had 4 coins; the vassals, 12; the nobles, 22; and the queen, a whopping 46. As you can imagine, the peasants were not happy!

The effective use of manipulatives can help students connect ideas and integrate their knowledge so that they gain a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.</span></span></p><span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The Dragon Crafters listened to the book, <i>Sir Cumference and All the King's Tens: A Math Adventure</i>. We then became "bean counters" to determine how many guests were attending our feast. The students brainstormed many ways we could count all of the beans. We discussed the pros and cons of each suggestion. After much discussion, the students agreed that we should count 10 beans into small cups; collect 10 cups and combine them into a tray; collect 10 trays and combine them into a bowl. We were then able to count our beans by thousands (bowl), hundreds (tray), tens (cups) and ones (single beans).

By building number combinations with Base Ten blocks, students ease into the concept of regrouping or trading and can see the logical development of each operation.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUG-p37c4Dy34Hd30kS2OYBouqwNzJrEtJ7japZCoO0Jdkq9IeHIfjGF7A-coMcvcFX4Va1D-SMBx_TbRQG4924FJtDbtVXFzwK_OxqgOi-VsTxsahUdHInyecMl7QphgWmkuBLmJWhr3m8lRXEzijRJ_RS8rSX15Gd9cBeFmUwoMWCp3-vJSp3hZm=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUG-p37c4Dy34Hd30kS2OYBouqwNzJrEtJ7japZCoO0Jdkq9IeHIfjGF7A-coMcvcFX4Va1D-SMBx_TbRQG4924FJtDbtVXFzwK_OxqgOi-VsTxsahUdHInyecMl7QphgWmkuBLmJWhr3m8lRXEzijRJ_RS8rSX15Gd9cBeFmUwoMWCp3-vJSp3hZm=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixI0tYml-GZddk-RGwEqrHsanR4tUWWY3f_VG8YrtQlPp9MD3_UEDkjZeSQZEQhASkUD2tijPMYQnFjX7EONuIEXxBBz-CmQOxJs9VLEzG7FId5kN3QRNUoOvF8PU_8Tw_QvEiH_T4odeS2CHqcdRDByzzdjyh1iQtd8a-01QAsBzZhGOrWcPyGCBs=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEixI0tYml-GZddk-RGwEqrHsanR4tUWWY3f_VG8YrtQlPp9MD3_UEDkjZeSQZEQhASkUD2tijPMYQnFjX7EONuIEXxBBz-CmQOxJs9VLEzG7FId5kN3QRNUoOvF8PU_8Tw_QvEiH_T4odeS2CHqcdRDByzzdjyh1iQtd8a-01QAsBzZhGOrWcPyGCBs=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The second graders used the skills they have gained in place value to open their own "Place Value Sandwich Shop."
