LIM Weekly:
Each week I will use the S'more to highlight a 'quality tool' for your classroom, and a lesson plan that goes with it!
This week the Quality Tool Spotlight is: Bar Chart and a the Lesson Spotlight is: Think Win-Win.
A bar chart (or bar graph) is used for comparing two or more values. It is a chart with rectangular bars of length that represent different values. The bars can be horizontal or vertical (also called a column chart when vertical). It allows students to compare two different groups of data over time.
See attached for lesson plans & bar chart form.

Curriculum
- Improving writing skills is an action step in our BSIP. Make sure are incorporating 30 minutes of writing time into your daily lessons.
- Displaying student work---Every classroom should have student work displayed inside or outside of the classroom. A title and learner objective should be accompanied with the work hung for display.
Assessment
- Evalate make-up testing is scheduled for Friday. Use this time for students to complete or make-up an Evaluate test. Students shoud not be permitted to make-up the test in the classroom at a different time. The test should be completed in one sitting; much like a standardized state assessment.
