English Language Learners and Equivalent Fractions

Good Afternoon!

For those of you who don't know, my school has recently instituted the departmentalization of math students.  This year, I am working with students who achieved the lowest stanine scores of last year's SAT-10 tests in mathematics.  All my students are English Language Learners, with some being a little more proficient in others.  Needless to say, my math class would be the perfect environment for me to complete the Student Oral Language Observation Matrix (SOLOM) checklist.  I have a couple of students who are very quiet, but achieve the highest scores in class.  I have only had these students for a month, so once they become more comfortable around me and their classmates, I can observe them a little better using the SOLOM.

I have also decided to change the website for the "Getting to Know You" introductions.  I forgot I was using a free trial for MoonFruit and I need to pay to use it now, so I decided to try out Wix.  Kindly send your writings and photos to my email: katrina.baza@gmail.com

My anxiety levels are still low.  I hope yours are too!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all next week!  Have a great three day weekend!

  1. Katrina I am so glad that you are able to use the SOLOM checklist with your students. I would like to use it someday when I am finally back in the classrooms again. But it is good to know that you will be using it or trying it out with your students. Please let me know on how it goes with your students.

    As for the assignment "Getting to know you better" I apologize for saying I will send it to you by this last Friday and I didn't. I will try to send it to you by the end of this weekend and that I promise. You have a great and safe weekend. I will see you next week Friday.

  2. I need to get started on thinking about the SOLOM. Thanks for reminding me with this post. You are so on-top of things ^_^ And thanks again for initiating the "Getting to Know You" project. I personally like wix a lot because it's incredibly user friendly and very pretty ^_^
