Explore some examples of how our primary students are reflecting.
Pamela G. is a kindergarten teacher at McDole and uses SeeSaw for student’s to create a digital portfolio of themselves as learners. A few examplesof things her students have done are talking about the places in the room that best fit their needs as a learner, or talking about the brightness of the lights that helps them to learn best. They have even shared times when they felt the most successful!
The 2nd grade team at KME kicked off their learner profile learning through an hands-on activity building snow scoops. Three stations were set up around the room each with a set of varying directions and supplies. All students rotated through each station and at the end of each one, they took some time to briefly reflect on their brain and how it was working during the learning.
Students in Mrs. Hay’s and Mrs. Lee’s first grade classes have been working on setting goals based on their own needs. On Fridays, they have taken time to reflect on writing or math goals and self-select an appropriate goal where they need extra practice. Students can practice this goal in any way they see to be meaningful.
In a first grade class co-taught by Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Mingo, first graders are using flip grid to share their reflections. Each week they have a question that they answer on the flipgrid. https://flipgrid.com/22bdap
Students love listening to the responses of their peers as they explore their own learner profile. They have gathered additional ideas of unique reading spots by inviting other classes to add to their flipgrid. Feel free to explore the class flipgrid responses. Your students are invited to add their favorite reading spot to the flipgrid. https://flipgrid.com/e81227
