Learning Goals and Scales
Before we start today's lesson, let's read an "I can" statement together.
Now let's take a look at our goals for today.
What level to you do think you can make today?
Click on the picture, then scroll to find the matching scale.
Before Educational Kid's Choice Time, be ready to describe to your learning partners the meaning of something you learned today. This should match the "I can" statement for today. Give reasons why you think you did or did not work well today.

Natural Disasters
Can you earn a gold medal for stopping a disaster? If you spend your money wisely on housing and defenses, you can save lives and reduce costly damage to your community.
Click on the overview button to remind yourself of your mission. The better you do your mission in the overview, the higher the medal you will receive. The game takes 25 minutes to complete. You will earn one of the following grades after the disaster strikes.
Gold Medal Silver Medal Bronze Medal Green Pass Red Failed Mission
E.SE.03.22 Identify and describe natural causes of change in the Earth’s surface (erosion, glaciers, volcanoes, landslides, and earthquakes).
screen set to 200% to see words during group instructions, group students by the disaster they choose at computers close to each other so they can collaborate, do not let them choose the start disaster button.

Changing State
By mimicking the very basic elements of popular fantasy-based online multiplayer games, Prodigy is well tuned to keep kids' attention. They'll love the customization and the setting, and the multiplayer modes will keep them interested long after traditional math activities might lose their luster... Best of all, if students get a question wrong, they get hints and a walkthrough of the solution. Prodigy does a great job of both entertaining students and providing them with valuable math lessons. It also is excellent at constantly updating: There are always new worlds and special things to discover, and students will love the thrill of logging in to find something new. See entire Common Sense Graphite Review.
1. Students start by finding interactives for the Common Core Math Standards for their grade level.
Let students partner up. Partners help each other, each pair deciding which math category they will work in and which games. After 10 mins, pairs come to the carpet. Tell them to switch categories.
2. Using the NWEA Class Breakdown by Goal Report, students choose those area of math the report indicates that they need help with. NOTE: Measurement has the fewest choices (4)
3. Students who scored strong in all areas of math will help those who need it.

Sumdog Login Intro
1. Login to sumdog with the same username and password as your google drive account, without the "@howellschools.com" part. You will then be asked for our school code, which is voycomp
2. What Animal Rank do you want to be?
3. Get your picture taken with your sumdog animal club! (enter secret code)
4. Find out how you can get pets for learning skills!
5. Watch this video to learn about the Progress Hub!
6. Use student's progress hub for example and play the help movie.
7. Find out how your pet learns new tricks and what to do if the questions are too hard.
8. Find out how to buy clothes and decorate your house! Play the help movie to find out.
9. Earn 1 coin for each correct problem, and then you can spend the coins in the house which opens at 3:30pm.
10. If your accuracy is 80% or higher, you can play any of the games you want.
If your accuracy is lower than 80%, you must slow down. Stay on the games that do not compete or make you feel rushed (slower games=junk pile or creeper). Get a paper and pencil and do the problem on paper before you click on an answer.
11. If math accuracy for everyone in the class is 80% or higher today, and the class has made good choices, I will open the house using my sumdog login!
12. Optional homework: login to voycomp.com from home, call a friend on the phone and play each other in sumdog!
Here's what Common Sense Media says about Sumdog!
13. Please do not let anyone else login to sumdog with your username and password. Sumdog wants to know how you are doing in math, not your brothers, sisters or anyone else : )
Extra rewards for long questions. Some questions - like word problems, or graphs - just take a little bit longer. So to encourage students, we now give extra rewards for them.
We've analysed each skill to research how long the questions take, and ranked the skills accordingly.
For the longer questions, a correct answer will now be rewarded with one or two bonus coins.
And that's not all: to help you stay in the game, you'll also get one or two extra turns.
Give it a go - you'll soon find your students loving word problems!

Spring Preview
PARENTS: Welcome to Michigan's new Assessment System the Michigan Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP). The M-STEP will include summative assessments designed to measure student growth effectively for today’s students. English language arts and mathematics will be assessed in grades 3–8, science in grades 4 and 7, and social studies in grades 5 and 8.
The Early Preview is intended to provide students and teachers with a brief look at the technology-enhanced item types they are likely to see for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. Students will also have any opportunity to use the navigation tools and features of the online delivery engine. Students may log into the Early Preview as often as they like.
STUDENTS: We will work our way through 20 problems, one at a time. Our goal is to learn how to use the tools. During this practice session, do not worry about whether or not you get the answer right; for now, we are only concerned about learning how to use the tools. Learning the tools now will ease your mind for when you take the test for real later this spring. When you take the test for real, you will be expected to make your best effort to answer the questions correctly. For now, have some fun with the tools while you practice! Feel free to practice at home!

Hypotheses & Knowledge Interaction
I need help solving a problem. Will you help me find some good websites for the Kindergartners, 1st graders and 2nd graders?
Let's make some predictions about what a website needs to be defined as a good website. I'll write your predictions on the white board. Describe what you think a website needs for you to decide that a website is 'good'?
Before we pair up, let's review the group rules.
Let's do an experimental inquiry and investigate some information about what others believe is needed for a website to be called 'good'. Before we experiment, let's review the experimental inquiry guidelines. Here are some observation guidelines for collecting data in this experiment:
1. Learning = at least 2 books
2. Stars = at least 4
3. Circle = green
4. Age Appropriate = 5, 6 or 7
When you find a website that meets all 4 data requirements, have some fun testing the website! Before you experiment, make a prediction as to whether you think the website will be a good website.
Before we form teams of 4, let's review the discussion tips.
Discuss and compare what others believe makes a good website with the predictions you made earlier. Describe what has changed in how you decide what a good website is.
