| Food Science journalling on a white board Our personal Food Guideline triangle, lower, centre |
1. Food journaling. You can write it or draw it or some combo.
- We decided we could do it on a white board and photograph it to archive on the ipad.
- We also considered the option of a pencil and a Science lab book Miranda left us.
2. Categorizing what we eat. We used a food pyramid.
3. Identify all the important things you like and need to do. Draw it on a picture of a brain. Figure out if what you ate is helping fuel those skills today.
Stay tuned. Or join in. The class is ongoing.

I love your white board. I think I need to get one for my family. Where do you keep yours? Or does it move from place to place?
ReplyDeleteWe have two white boards: 8x11 and 11x14. They are ``mobile``. That helps us. Sometimes our list needs to move from room to room as we do our chores.
DeleteWe also have a whiteboard-like calendar on the fridge. You may have seen it in other blogs. We plan together as a family on it. When I introduced it two years ago, David would erase the things we didn`t like. I learned since then, do it together as a collaborative project and people are less likely to erase what they don`t like.
We like whiteboards for spelling practice. We don`t do a lot of spelling practice because our family rule is ``get it down in a way you and others can read it back - we just need good enough, not perfect spelling``. But when we do try to work on a word, it is faster to erase a white board marker with a finger than a pencil stroke with an eraser. It seems less stressful.
Where do we keep them? Mostly on the green island in the kitchen at the lake, but sometimes where ever we used them last. We even use it in the car.
I read in a book on teaching social thinking, buy more boards than you think you need. You will use them all. So I bought three. One has gone missing. Two are in daily circulation.
Richard and Miranda had one white board. Then two. Then three. That is how I got mine. They downsized.
ReplyDeleteI found a wall to put it on and he came over and drilled clips into the wall for me to hang mine by my computer. Then he picked up my dry marker felts, asked me what I was doing the next day and proceeded to put the list up on the board.
How is that for style -- putting up the board and making sure I put it right into use.
I am intrigued by David's use of pictures to make his lists. I could use some lessons on how to make quick images.
I love it that Richard put yours right to use. Too funny. I think I will put one up in David`s room, if he wants one. It would be a great place to map out MegaBloks Halo battle plans.
ReplyDeleteHis teacher has them at school. I don`t think David has tried asking yet to keep one in his desk, but I think he would like that too. We have been practicing `taking notes`when someone gives directions. That is a hard one.
Any suggestions anyone?
