Day 9: If you want to protect your students' personally identifiable information do these 3 things: check for the S in the URL (https), find the site's privacy policy, or consult an expert in district or at @CommonSense#FMSD12Days
Day 8: Students have really enjoyed using @Flipgrid to practice presentation/communication skills, and I think it is a great way for students to offer feedback to one another! #FMSD12Days
Day 7: Props to Mr. Cook for giving a lot of opportunity for students to communicate/collaborate like today when they discussed their books and then chose a journal response to revise together. #FMSD12Days
Day 6: "This Just In" is a great lesson from #CommonSenseEd that relates well to how we teach our 8th graders to analyze text for bias when they see absolute/extreme language, numbers and stats, contradictions, etc. #FMSD12Days
Day 5: While I love music, I am not musically inclined so this was a bit of a struggle until a student overheard me and offered a little support and help! Click on link for my rendition of Jingle Bells ๐ ๐๐นhttps://t.co/tipbwudZZ2 #FMSD12Days
Neither Literacy nor STEAM are taught in isolation. In ELA we constantly incorporate elements of all content areas.We choose texts that relate, have students collaborate, use critical thinking skills through analysis, & show compassion and creativity in what we create!#FMSD12Days
I am currently reading #180Days with my ELA Dept.; we are getting some new ideas & reinforcing best practices we have already been working on in classrooms! It's always difficult to fit it all in! Excited to hear the authors, @pennykittle and @KellyGToGo next Monday! #FMSD12Days
It was a beautiful morning walking in honor of our sister school students at BBEL Academy! Students got to walk around two miles in dedication to all those students around the world who face many struggles just to get to school.#bulldogsbuildabetterworld@FortMillSD
We had a great start to the 2019-2020 school year, from a week of teachers\staff preparing for students, to a week of students\staff working together getting to know one another, building relationships, & starting to learn curriculum.#2weeksin2minutes https://t.co/CtjKTmvsNL
