It's been two years since I wrote my last blog post. I guess my inspiration for this blog died as soon as I published the post.. haha. Funny how that is sometimes.
Anyways, I've been thinking about my benchmark tracker for math this year and it's going to be an "Around the World in 180 Days". I'm going to have a huge map of the world posted on the wall. Students will try to travel to as many countries and continents as they can in 180 days. They all start on North America. I will write their name on a country and they record is in their passport book. They can move to another country within the same continent if they score 80+% on a practice test or a post-test. Students and move to another continent when they score 80+% on the benchmark. Every time they move they write the new country or continent down in their passport.
I'm thinking it either needs to be me writing their name with whiteboard marker or finding a magnetic flag type thing so they can stick on that way. I'm super excited for this tracker and I hope I actually fully utilize it to its fullest capacity.
The students are each going to have their own student data tracker binder with their passport along with their graph and scores for each standard "I can" statement pre and post test.
Sometimes I get inspiration and doesn't pan out. I hope it doesn't happen again. It seems like such a great idea!!
