Thank you @TheAmandaGorman for Change Sings. 4th graders were inspired by your anthem to create their own and identified traits they have to help them create change. #shinebrightedison#teachchange
Students loved creating pieces to describe their own voices and how they are using them to make the world a better place. So inspirational. #shinebrightedison@JimmieAllen
I’m going to try a “Secret Student.” I will choose someone in my mind at start of day. Throughout day I will say “Oh I like how our Secret Student is...” or “I see my Secret Student...”Will announce in Closing Circle/celebrate if they were role model all day. #LookForRoleModels
My read aloud is ready for the first day of school. Excited to share this story with my 4th grade students and hear their songs! #shinebrightedison#yournameisasong
Just like moons hidden in the dark,
there will be times
when you, too,
will question your place
in the universe.
but...
Did you know that you are sun rays,
calm, like ocean waves,
tough, like montañas
magic, like stars in space?
This is one of my favorite read alouds to share with my class. The students relate to Aru and her adventures keep them on the edge of their seats. #diversebooks, #Arushah
