This second data meeting went extremely well. Jordan, Samantha and myself worked together through a variety of methods throughout the week such as Google Docs, texting, and email. We each prepared a ton of artifacts to present to the team when we met Wednesday on Zoom. Using Zoom enabled us to share our screens to present our artifacts, discuss what we needed and talk about our ideas for future planning.
We found that by analyzing our artifacts and data, that we all think we don’t have enough time to cover materials. There are so many tests and tasks that we have to fit into the school year that prohibits us from focusing on the curriculum. We all have to deal with standardized testing, SLO’s (student learning objectives), Literacy tasks and much more which take up teaching time. This leads us to our exploratory question. How are we presently teaching addition and subtraction and why are our students performing so poorly?
As a PE teacher, I was able to see one of the artifacts that Samantha posted, could easily be transferred to a PE lesson. It was a lesson on subtraction by using bowling. Bowling and underhand throwing is a PE lesson in the Kindergarten curriculum.
By putting together our data, artifacts, and thinking about our lack of time, we came up with an idea about cross curricular planning and lesson collaborations. We will be exploring this for our action plan for Data meeting #3.
