Ever heard of Oobleck? How about Non-Newtonian fluids? Well, today Sabrina is going to show us that things can sometimes behave like a solid, and sometimes like a liquid depending on how much force is applied to them.

*For every unit in Math I gave students a problem that did not have one right
answer, but many possible answers.
*Students were given a question on Monday and given time to research information
over the week.
*On Friday, the students were put into groups to discuss their findings. As a group
they needed to decide what information did they think made the best sense to use
for the problem.
*The group presented their answer to the class and explained why their group
chose to answer the question in the way that they did.

My artifact this year was teaching a Guided Math unit with my Grade 7 class. I had my students
work together with similar abilities to achieve full learning potential. My supports and guidance while doing this unit was other teachers in our school who are already implementing Guided Math in their classroom. Students collaborated well within their groups and were happy with the process and their individual results.

Oral language provides a foundation for communication of ideas and intelligent conversation, and the development of other language skills. Before students achieve proficiency in reading and writing, oral language is one of the most important means of learning and of acquiring knowledge.
Things to consider when selecting words to teach:
•Teach words that are central to the concept students must learn.
•Teach only words students do not already know.
•Teach students to use context clues, when available.
•Teach only a few words at a time so meaning is retained.
•Relate new words to previously learned words.
•Provide multiple exposures to words.

Hopefully you can find some oral language activities in this handout that you can use in your classroom. Thank you for working to support the oral language abilities of the students on Saskatchewan’s Hutterite Colonies!
