@mrs_c_wilson Literally you have the best notes 😍

[Cate Creedon @C8_Creedon]

A11: it’s important for teachers to demonstrate collaboration and community, just as we expect our students to do. These aren’t MY students or YOURS, they are OURS. ❤️ #gRAEtminds

[Cate Creedon @C8_Creedon]

A10: I want to use my students interest to help drive their learning. Ex: use interests to guide picture talk lessons. This will help students “buy in” and keep engaged bc it’s a topic they enjoy! #gRAEtminds

[Cate Creedon @C8_Creedon]

A12: it’s so, so important that the main ingredient is RELATIONSHIP. Especially for Newcomer ELs, the American classroom is a foreign, scary place! We must display sincerity. We must show our students that we truly care about their well being and success. #gRAEtminds

@mathlete10 @renarae24 @mbrteacher Yes!!!!! This is a great cross curricular training! ✏️

[Cate Creedon @C8_Creedon]

Can’t wait to preteach vocabulary for picture talks using this method! 📚 #RAEinKaty #ESL

[Cate Creedon @C8_Creedon]

Q9: building relationships and making a plan with students can help so much! It’s so important for us to also be empathetic with our students #RAEinKaty #kids1stfromday1 #gRAEtminds

[Cate Creedon @C8_Creedon]

Q8: Community Circle (CC) is the perfect time for students to learn social skills from one another. The BOY CC may be more teacher lead & eventually students will lead CC discussions. It’s amazing!! #RAEinKaty #kids1stfromday1 #gRAEtminds

[Cate Creedon @C8_Creedon]

Q7: providing students with frequent brain breaks is a must! It’s also important to understand how a “brain break” may vary from one child to another. Ex: quiet time alone versus playing a game #RAEinKaty #kids1stfromday1 #gRAEtminds
