Last year I used them in my 4th grade math classroom a lot. At the beginning of the year, I introduced the behaviors from the very beginning. The first day of school I asked my students to complete a sheet that looked like this:
I asked students to think about the math with which they already feel confident. I wanted them to write those concepts in the glass. Then around the side I asked student to write down things they want to learn this year in math- expressing their intellectual curiosity.
We were departmentalized this past year in 4th grade and it was important that student knew what materials they needed for each class. We created this organizer to help them the first week. In each class, students wrote down the subject and what materials were needed for that specific class.
Another way I introduced the behaviors was by graphing pre-test data and talking about the behavior of goal-setting.
I also used Save and Organize Ideas when we set up interactive notebooks.
Throughout the year we referred to these scholarly behaviors a lot in all subject areas. My language arts teammate would refer to these behaviors when discussing how characters acted in certain stories or how famous people reacted to events in their lives when reading biographies. In all our classrooms, these posters hung in prominent locations and students referred to them often. Here are some sample pictures from the product.
The set comes with four different choices- 2 font styles and then within both font styles there are posters with a caption and without a caption.
