"How Fourth Grade Uses Accelerated Math in the Classroom"

 * Primarily used as a tool to determine which students need extra practice with certain objectives.
 * Objectives are assigned based on skills that have been taught.
 * All Fourth Grade Library objectives mastered in the Third Grade are deleted at the beginning of the year.
 * Goals are differentiated for each student every Nine Weeks.
 * Usually completed as part of morning work and when all other assignments are finished.
 * All tests are completed in the classroom.
 * Students who do not make 80% or better on practices are pulled by a teacher, assistant, or volunteer to make corrections and review the skill.
 * Grades are given based on the final Practice Average and Test Average for the Nine Weeks.
 * If a student reaches 100% of their goal, they are given an extra 100 as a classwork grade.
 * If a student does not reach their goal, they are counted exempt from that classwork grade. (It does not count against them.)

"How Fourth Grade Uses Accelerated Reader in the Classroom"

 * Goals are differentiated for each student every Nine Weeks.
 * Students may use their books when taking a test. (Stott- "I only let my students use their book if it is a chapter book.")
 * Usually completed as part of morning work and when all other assignments are finished.
 * Grades are given based on the final Test Average for the Nine Weeks.
 * If a student reaches 100% of their goal, they are given an extra 100 as a classwork grade.
 * If a student does not reach their goal, they are counted exempt from that classwork grade. (It does not count against them.)

Mystery Rock Lesson Plan Ideas []

Instructional Procedures
 * 1) Invite the class to view the contents of one of the Mystery Rock boxes (not the plaster of Paris piece). Ask them to write at least a paragraph on their half piece of paper describing how they think it is used, and why it would be used that way. Encourage them to use their creativity and write so well that the other students will be convinced that they are right.
 * 2) Ask the students to share their writings and discuss the possibilities.
 * 3) Share with them the true identity of the rock and its uses.
 * 4) Collect the students’ writing and staple it inside the halves of the //Mystery Rock//blackline master to make a book.
 * 5) Display the four other //Mystery Rock//boxes, and half pages of writing paper in a center. Encourage the students to examine the other mystery rocks and write what they believe each rock is used for.
 * 6) Compile the students work to make books for each mystery box.
 * 7) As a class, review the student guesses and their reasoning. Uncover the real uses of each rock and discuss why the characteristics of that rock make it good for its use.
 * 8) Unveil the plaster of Paris pieces last and discuss how similar rock was used for thousands of years to record history and tell stories.
 * 9) Show pictures of ancient rock art and discuss what can be learned from the pictures (e.g. how they hunted, what they wore, what animals they lived with, etc).
 * 10) Distribute plaster of Paris pieces and nails so that students can create their own petroglyph. Encourage students to tell a story or capture a memory with their picture and to think ahead since it is difficult to fix mistakes.

Concept Map from Inspirtation of three different types of rocks, list characteristics

** Rock Star Trading Card Idea: Use Powerpoint to make trading cards. ** Type Your Name Here: ** Place your Picture Here ** Name of rock or mineral: Where is the rock found? Description of the rock or mineral: How is this rock or mineral used? List 3 additional things you learned about your rock or mineral. [] (Good Resource) [] (Gallery) [] (Rock Hounds)
