Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Welcome to 5th Grade! Welcome to our class blog. I am so excited for this school year! We are going to have so much fun and will be learning a lot of exciting things.

Mrs. Jensen's Class: January 2010
http://jensenclassroom.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Pp 100‐103; How might you use the information this would produce, in differentiating? What would you, personally, want to add to or remove from this inventory? By the question I could write some examples like memorization, visual aids (pictures, objects), writing/taking notes, repeating information, making up songs/poems, reading, etc. I want all my students to have the opportunity to succeed, so why wouldn't I adapt my lessons to fit their needs. Creating tests or other form...

Mrs. Jensen's Class: Chapter 7
http://jensenclassroom.blogspot.com/2010/02/chapter-7.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. 1 Choose 4 bullets from the list on pages 88 and 89 of chapter 7 (repeat them in your posting), and explain why you believe these 4 traits, or beliefs, or mantras are true for you? Students consistently want teachers who respect them, listen to them, show empathy toward them, help them work out their problems, and become human by sharing their own lives and ideas with their students.". I think this quote is a "Well Duh! Quote, but I think anyone can do the opposite when they...

Mrs. Jensen's Class: February 2010
http://jensenclassroom.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 24, 2010. Individually, still need to know and understand in order to tier (differentiate) a lesson of your own choosing? Last Thursday's class was exactly what I needed! How did you decided a group for all 30 students? You seemed to be right on too! Everyone was comfortable in their groups and able to contribute. I'd like to learn more about how to divide the groups and to be as spot on as you were! Thank you for all the time and energy you put into that lesson! Teachers that show th...

http://jensenclassroom.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 23, 2008. Well, last week was my final week teaching Mr. Bunker's 4th grade class. It was so much fun! I'm really going to miss my students. The last week we taught they began using the Alpha Smarts. These are awesome! It was fun, but I am excited to get back to class and see everyone again.

Mrs. Jensen's Class: Fulfilling the Promise chapters 1&2
http://jensenclassroom.blogspot.com/2010/01/fulfilling-promise-chapters-1.html
Wednesday, January 20, 2010. Fulfilling the Promise chapters 1&2. 1) Carol Tomlinson mentions "definitions" or partial definitions of differentiation in chapter one. What makes sense to you, in attempting to define differentiation? In order to adapt in a way that my students need, I will have to do my own research on my students and go beyond the classroom. I need to find out about their families, traditions, cultures, lifestyle, learning strategies, interests, goals, and personalities. Subscribe to: Pos...

Thursday, December 18, 2008. Here is our WebQuest! Monday, December 15, 2008. What is a WebQuest? It is a fun, interactive, and controled learning activity. The teacher creates a web based activity where the students are asked to research a few questions using resources the teacher has already pre-selected. Students usually work together in groups to accomplish each task assigned in the WebQuest and come out with a better understanding of the WebQuest's topic. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mrs. Jensen's Class: March 2010
http://jensenclassroom.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 3, 2010. 1 I chose to read the unit What Plants Need. What impressed me the most about it was the organization of activities, discussions, and assessments. I liked Caroline's comments that explained the purpose and adjustments needed for each part of her lessons. I felt that it proved that she had a purpose for each activity and had identified what her students needed to succeed. I also liked how the lessons are very. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
