Tupelo Distance Education - aired April 29

April 29, 2020

>> good morning students and parents.

Welcome to distance learning 101.

Today i'm honored to be join by first grade teacher at carver.

Welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me.

Before we get started what will we learn today?

>> i will take you through the lesson plan.

It's a great learning experience for all teacher.

It's an extreme makeover as we basically had to toss out what we were doing our old lesson plans and start fresh with thu new format.

I will take you through what each days looks like.

We have day one which is our ela.

Our reading component then our math component.

We have day two, three, four and five.

At the end of the lesson plan we have a special choice board.

Which i think is a great add-on to our lesson plan.

I know the kids are missing go each day.

After they complete ela sfla are able to choose activity from the special choice board to complete.

>> you basically -- when you came back from spring break.

>> you threw everything and started over.

>> that's why i think it's an extreme makeover.

>> i will go back out to day three.

We are going to start with our math instruction for today.

And i am going to take you to envision math videos.

I think this -- these are great videos.

Because we use these daily in our classroom.

>> they are used to seeing these every day.

We are going to be practicing double digit subtraction.

You can use 100 chart to subtract tens.

Find 70 minus 20.

How can you tuesday 100 chart to find the numbers that is ten less than 70?

>> were they able watching this video at home doing this as well.

>> yes.

>> what is 70 minus 10.

70 minus ten equals 60.

Why do you move up on the 100 chart when you subtract?

Numbers decrease when you move up on the hundreds chart.

What do you subtract each time you move up a row.

You subtract 10 each time you move up.

How many 10s are in 20.

Select your answer.

>> we have our answer.

>> i think i do.

2.

>>> yes.

You are making me nervous here.

>> good, job.

>> 20 is two tens.

How many rows do you move up to subtract 20?

You move up two rows.

Which number in the 100's chart is two rows up from 70?

Select your answer.

>> two.

>> good job.

You are the best first grader.

>> start on 70.

For every ten you subtract move up one row.

20 is two 10's move up.

>> they are used to these videos.

Start at 70.

Count back by 10.

70, 60, 50.

How is counting back like counting forward.

>> you are going up the chart instead of down.

>> how is it different from counting forward.

>> do you deal addition before you teach subtraction and multiapplication before division?

>> we did with the digit addition.

H is just review for two digit subtraction.

>> when you count back the ten decreases by one.

>> now i am going to show you three different strategies that you can use at home to help you solve these two-digit subtraction equations.

First i have what we call our base ten blocks.

We use these daily in our classroom as well.

Right here if we have ten, 20, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34.

We take one ten away.

And two one's.

We have our answer.

Twen, 20, 30, 31.

I know you may not have your ten blocks at home.

That's fine.

You know you can also draw your sticks, to help you.

If we have 43, again, and we want to take 12 away.

We know we can take one ten away.

And two ones.

And you still get your same answer.

>> basically the math is same today as it was when we did it with sticks and rocks?

>> exactly.

>> another strategy i will show you is what we saw on our video today we use our 100's chart.

If i have the equation, if we have the equation, 44, minus 23, we start at 44 on 100 chart.

And we know there are two 10s in 23.

We go, up, 10, 20 and over 3.

One, two, three.

We get our answer.

We go up the chart because the numbers are decreasing.

They get smaller instead of going down the chart where they get larger.

Since we take -- like we saw on our video.

>> you got i live.

>> that's right.

And then the other strategy i'm going to show you is what we like to see stacking the numbers up.

When we say stack the numbers up we basically mean put the numbers on top of each other.

>> that's right.

Like a stack.

We have the numbers stacked on top of each other.

We need to subtract from our 1's place first.

We know it's 6 minus four.

6 minus four.

>> two.

>> and then we subtract our ten's place.

Five minus two.

>> would be three.

>> good job.

>> you are best first grader.

>> and then we have our answer of 32.

>>> it's almost like you're doing -- when you do double digit subtraction.

You almost do two problems. >> these are three different strategies that you can use at home to help you solve your two-digit subtraction equations.

>> your first grade.

Your kids aren't learning in kindergarten.

>> just basic.

And what point to year are they at this level?

>> we started the two digit addition back in january.

>> okay.

They get -- we get a good review in the fall of this basic addition.

-- three-digit addition then we move into our two-digit subtraction and addition.

They will learn how to do it with regrouping next.

This is without regrouping.

They will practice with regrouping.

>> we're speaking to your students.

But we'll real quick talk to mom and dad or grandmother whoever in the household.

What advice would you give them helping them to teach their children how to do there.

If you don't have a 100's chart.

Draw your sticks.

The kids at school know exactly what that means when we say draw your sticks and your 1's and then if you take 11 away you know you will take one 10 away and then one one.

>> what is biggest obstacles kids face when they do this?

>> what's the one thing if they struggle.

Is there a common denominator.

>> it's getting past the basic addition and subtraction.

If you can get past this, this comes easier.

It's just number sense.

>> number sense is sometimes a struggle.

So if they can get past the numbers, then they will have better look with two-digit addition and subtraction.

>> you are available every day for your students.

.

>> yes.

>> parents, if you have questions, e-mail you.

They can reach google classroom.

>> google classroom we've been doing lessons on this.

Anything that can help.

I'm here.

>> when you get your classroom together on google classroom, you told me i think you had 12 at one time the other day.

>> obviously it's not the same as the classroom.

But do you get interaction?

>> yes.

Yes.

>> it's been so great to have google meets where i see my first graders that i'm miss so dearly.

>> this is as tough for teacher as students.

>> you left for spring break and no idea that was last time.

>> who knew that last friday would be the last time that i would see them this year hopefully.

>> we do want to shout out miss harvey is from public school district.

We will take a break.

When we come back, we will learn about reading.

>> about reading.

We will completely shift focus.

This is distance learning 101.

We'll be right back.

>> welcome back to distance learning 101.

We're with our first grade teacher kate harvey.

We just finished up math.

Now we will go into reading.

And we really want you to participate with us especially the picturious will talk -- picture.

You came up with hashtag forum.

>> we will talk about story what comes from plants.

After our lesson today we want you to think about what you can send into us using hashtag growing minds.

>> we're ready to dive right into out reading -- instruction for today.

I hope everyone is enjoying the pretty weather we been having outside.

>> we actually got a spring this year.

>> i know i have.

And i have been so excited to share with you a picture of something that i have had time to create which is my garden.

I cannot wait for it to start to grow.

And see what all great things come from that.

So i'm going to start reading our story and this is what comes from plants.

We need plants, did you know people and animals couldn't live without plants.

Why are plants so important?

Plants make food.

First, plants are special because they make their own food.

No other living thing can do this.

Plants make food using water, air and sunlight.

Plants store the food they make in their leaves.

They store it in their roots and stems. they store it in their fruits and seeds.

We eat these part of some plants to get energy.

So do many other animals.

Plants make the air we breathe.

The second reason why we can't live without plants is that they make oxygen.

They make oxygen when they make food.

We need oxygen to breathe.

Building materials, plant give us much more than food and oxygen.

Human and other animals use plant to make shelter.

Many houses made of wood, grass, reeds or sticks.

Even if furniture in our house often come from plants.

Fuel, most of the fuel we use comes from plants.

Many people burn wood for heat or for cooking.

Oil, coal and gas can be burned.

Oil coal and gas come from plants and animals that died long ago.

Cloth and clothing.

People use fiber from cotton and other plants to make cloth and clothing.

They use dyes from many different plants to give the cloth color.

Medicines, many medicines and vitamin come from plant.

Many of today's medicines are copies of what can be natural i will found in plants.

Basket.

People use fiber or wood together to make baskets.

Nay also use fibers from plants to make many kinds of ropes.

>> paper and rubber.

Most paper is made from trees.

Other kinds of paper are made from rice and bamboo.

Rubber was first made from the sap of rubber trees.

Conclusion, plants are important to us in many ways.

Day give us food, oxygen and many things we use every day.

What would we do without all the things that come from plants?

That's a picture of a garden.

>> after our story, i'm going to ask greg some questions about what we read.

Number one, what is one thing plants give people?

>> oxygen.

And without oxygen we wouldn't be here.

You can really stop there if there were no plants there would be nothing.

>> that's right.

>> good job.

>> number 2 is this book written to inform or entertain?

>> i would say inform.

But i was entertained with it as well.

>> i would definitely say informed.

Because giving us real world facts about a -- that real world topic.

>> when you look at plant you say pretty plant but you don't think about everything especially the medicine part.

>> exactly.

>> so now we will move right into our phonics instruction.

On phonics instruction on lesson plan for the day it has.

We will be practicing the double o vowell sound.

This is an important lesson.

Because i like to say when two vowells are hanging out together it's special because they make two sounds.

I have a word sort that we will -- we will get create.

I have a picture of a book and then a picture of a moon.

I have words that i have cut out.

And boys and girls if you don't have scissors and glue it's perfectly fine.

You can write the word in the correct column or draw a picture of the word and put it in the correct column.

>> so greg, i want you to read first word to us and see if we can figure out where it might go.

>> i'm going to cook and i will say it goes with book.

>> what happens if miss one.

You will correct me and i get another chance.

>> do you want me to mess one up purposefully.

You are the best first grader.

What's our next word.

>> that one is hard.

Zoo.

I hope we get to this soon.

Maybe so.

>> maybe in a month.

Where do you think it should go?

>> do you have the kids talk it out like i did earlier.

Zoo, book, zoo, moon.

>> i will say moon.

>> you are the best first grader.

>> you can get a carver dollar.

>> pool.

>> i also hope we get to get in very, very soon.

>> let's see here.

Book, pool, moon, pool.

That's hard.

>> i know.

>> give me -- moon.

>> correct.

>> good job.

>> if i am stuck, what are some ways to get me -- >> we just keep practicing sounding it out and you hear which vowell sound do you truly hear.

Our next word is broom.

We have been using a lot of that lately.

>> broom, moon.

You tricked me.

Actually, i put this here.

>> just like a first grader, so looking at our chart, we have two words that have our double o vowell sound that have the same sound as in a book.

Then we have two words that go with our moon.

Which two words did we say for that?

>> zoo and broom.

That's good.

Good job.

You come right on.

You would be the best first grader.

>> i got three out of four.

75%.

>> just like our students.

>> that's right.

Yes.

>> to wrap up today's lesson, i want you to send any pictures of videos that you and your family may have been planting at your house during this quarantine.

And we want you to use the hashtag ppsd growing minds.

>> now you were talking about your garden that you planted.

Do you normally do that.

Or did you do that because of the extra trial you have in the quarantine.

Extra time.

>> let's keep our fingers cross that it starts to grow soon so that i can eated some of the things that are going to growing.

It won't be because of lack of water.

That's for sure.

Now we need the pretty sunshine that we had to help it start to grow.

>> and then for next year's class when you get to the plants you will show them picture of what you grew.

>> exactly.

>> what did you plan?

>> i have tomatoes, squash, pepper and jalapenos.

>> you got the color chart.

That's exactly right.

>> we got a few minutes left.

So as the big thing is and i'm sure teacher you get nervous when in a regular year when school ends.

All the kids what they will retain and lose.

Reading and management are two of the components at that age.

>> let's focus on reading for a second.

What can they do, what can parents do with their kids to make sure they are reading and comprehension skills are staying up.

>> we always say.

Make sure you read 20 minutes every single day.

Especially for our age kids.

That's the most important -- the most important part.

Reading, 20 minutes a day.

We have these awesome lesson plans on line.

User friendly.

They are engaging.

And we also have alexia component.

This new computer program this year.

We say, work ten minutes on lexia and then take an ar test.

That's our accelerated reader program.

I encourage the students at home to take an ar test whenever you get a chance.

And make sure that you are doing your reading.

>> 20 minutes a day.

I haven't heard a time on that.

>> 20 minutes a day.

That's what we like to say every day.

Thanks so much for taking the time and coming and teaching to your students.

I do.

I do.

>> miss harvey.

Thanks so much for taking the time to come visit.

>> thank you for having me.

>> as you said 20 minutes a day on reading.

Don't take that lightly.

Keep your brains fresh so you can maintain your reading comprehension.

Thank you for joining us here on wtva's
