@PolarGlobal disappointed... your H10s typically work for about 13 months...just shy of your warranty. Here is around 700 dollars worth that don't work. Polarcare's response? "Unfortunately, 30% off voucher is the extent of what we can offer  at this time." loyalty?

I think it’s important to write in front of your students and be clear about what craft moves look like in context.

ES home room teachers, how many minutes are your students in your class each week? Thank you!

[Ed Hagen @EdHagen4]

A while back, I asked about typing in grade 2...have been thinking and experimenting with this. My thinking now: teach the skills needed! provide choice, define the purpose, doesn't have to be typed all the time, some Ss are ready and some need more time

[Ed Hagen @EdHagen4]

Looking for opinions and thoughts from other elementary teachers: When should kids switch from writing with their hands to composing with a device? I teach grade 2. What's the purpose? - writing/publishing completed narratives. Please share!

My other pick for the medal - @YoungVoart shows readers how language can be a monster. My class talked so much about this book and connected to the idea of not speaking the language of your peers at school. Amazing first book Mr. Vo!

[Ed Hagen @EdHagen4]

This one could go all the way! Brilliant illustrations - the use different frame shapes, color, perspective, layers of detail, outlines. Wow. My class loved it. #callingcaldecott @DougSalati

@shaunyk Bird feeders and flowers. 😁

Ss began drafting yesterday and used some of these strategies on their own. These experts will teach the class instead of me! Excited to challenge grade 2 students to write longer and stronger about topics they love.

3 sounds of -ed inquiry. Ss think of and find words to add to each group. Can you spot the irregular past tense verbs these 2nd graders have added -ed to? This will be a celebrated next step for our class. Love seeing misspelled words! @wordtorque

@fang_wangNIST We are both lucky and blessed to work for great schools that support us in many ways. I feel for teachers working in toxic environments with no end in sight.

Grade 2 writers invested 7 days into planning their nonfiction books!

[Ed Hagen @EdHagen4]

@kimbrap @colbysharp @RyanT_Higgins Love this one! Read it to my class last year. Funny.

[Ed Hagen @EdHagen4]

@amyamyhoss @watnunu @LiangKivi Heard that is a cool school!

[Ed Hagen @EdHagen4]

@inclusive_head Translanguaging, push in support models, flood models, co-teaching, team teaching, using a common assessment tool and then sharing where learners are on that continuum… easy to talk about. Challenging to enact.

Enjoyed trying the imotion app to dramatize pollination with recycled goods. Easy and fun for g2s to use! @Fingerlab @aisbudapest

[Ed Hagen @EdHagen4]

@wordtorque The importance of practice! One must give students opportunities to do so consistently. I like to do this using a menu of words so students can choose. Menus of words (lists) can also be intentional teaching tools used after students engage with them. @wordtorque come visit!

[Ed Hagen @EdHagen4]

The next step in co-creating class norms this year... Kids drew pictures and took photos of their ideas. Teachers should be at the bottom of the display, BUT students need to be able to see their own work. Interesting to think about a T's roles too @aisbudapest @ESLearningAISB
