QR Codes

February 4, 2014 By Rachel

We are in another crazy week!  
Benchmark testing, picture day, Leadership party!
When will we have a normal week?
We are moving to 1:1 iPads next year! 
We were supposed to get 6 iPads in January, but with the cold weather days, everything is behind.
Hopefully, they’ll come soon!
I decided to go ahead and introduce QR Codes to my kiddos using my iPad.
Have you heard of them?
If you haven’t, you might be living under a rock!  I kid!
You scan the cute little square with any smart device and it gives you a text or website.
There’s tons of free apps to scan the codes.
I found this great product on TpT from Kristin Kennedy.
Scan the Room: Fractions {5 Common Core Aligned Sets with
It was perfect as a center as we were wrapping up our unit on fractions!
I basically showed my whole class how to use the QR app (I think it’s called QRafter) and sent them on their way.
Here are two of my sweeties working on identifying fractions.
 
They absolutely LOVED it and are begging for more!!
There’s a ton of free QR code activities on TpT!  Go check them out!

      Whoop Whoop Rachel! 6.8 pounds is awesome! I love the QR codes too, I wish we had more time with iPads at our school! The students LOVE them! Each grade level gets them for one week every 6 weeks, which means each teacher gets one day out of every 6 weeks. Boo! So happy for you for next year!

    How long is your students’ attention spans? I o How long is your students’ attention spans?
I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

2️⃣ Movement - Stand/Sit if this is your answer
3️⃣ Turn & Talk - Everyone shares their answer with a partner
4️⃣ Hand Signals - Perfect for multiple choice questions
5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
