LITERACY! LITERACY! LITERACY! Ms. Kozimor is hosting “Book Tasting” today in the Hawk Nest. Her Ss get 5 minutes per rotation to review a book and take notes while getting to enjoy snacks. On Monday, each student will get to pick their favorite book to take with them to read!
Student-led EQ annotation and discussion led to a great into conversation about courage and fear. They managed conflicting opinions and honoring all voices like champs! #watchusSoar#fcpsela
Sure wish I was an 8th grader in @MrsKozimorFCPS ‘s ELA classes today! Tables are set with “menus”, snacks and various books to “taste”. They’ll then select one as their novel of choice for the unit. Kids are excited and engaged! #UMSHawks
Teachers of HAL cluster groups at Gifted Learner 102 are using the socratic seminar protocol to dig in & deeply discuss how the unique SEL needs of gifted learners impact talent development & achievement and implications for Ts. @JReinhardEdD@MrsSmithFCPS@RidenourEAATS
The Hawk Nest faculty was focused during their PL this week on the MBE Core Idea of: RETRIEVAL PRACTICES. It is the most robust strategy to mitigate stress & commit newly learned material to long term memory. @TheCTTL@FCPSMaryland
Concept mapping is a task that requires the granular understanding that we want to see when unpacking prior knowledge! I also love that this is a no-tech example of retrieval practice that meets students at various levels of current proficiency. 💪🏼🧠🙌🏽♥️
🧠7th gr Ss super engaged in retrieval practice through concept mapping of 6th gr content in Ms. Oland’s science class. Differentiated tiers of challenge to see what Ss can recall and organize from general to specific & to show/tell connections. 🧠@UMSHawks@JReinhardEdD
Starting off year 33 (WOW!!!) with FCPS by joining the Advanced Academics team. Excited to learn, grow, support, collaborate and advocate! The first few days have already been super! It’s going to be a fantastic year! @JReinhardEdD@FCPSCurriculum#CalibratingOurCourse
