Retweeting so I can read this one later!! Looks to be great ideas to keep small “family” groups running from home with our Ss. @DublinWL @WalledLkSchools #wleced

“Small peer-group discussions enable students to practice academic language, gain feedback on their ideas, and further understanding.” These 3 tools can help facilitate small-group discussions.

A7 How about a proactive circle before iReady Diagnostics? #DublinRestorative

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

A7 After some issues with guest teachers, we have had proactive circles in advance of guest teachers... and there has been some improvement in choices while I have been out of the room! #DublinRestorative

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

Q7 What is an example of a proactive circle you could use in your classroom? #DublinRestorative

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

@JenVack How did it go?

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

@LablancC Great minds think alike!!

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

Q6 Would you find it beneficial to stop instruction/learning to have a circle when a problem arises or might you wait until the end of a lesson to reflect/restore/resolve? #DublinRestorative

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

A5 One time, @LablancC and I pulled both of our classes into a giant circle. We had the greatest discussion about conflicts at recess over soccer and gaga ball. So much progress was made with 50 kids in one room! #DublinRestorative

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

A5 We do an AM meeting circle & talk about our day ahead, do a share, daily reporter, etc. At the end of the day it is fun to reflect on our day in a circle. I do notice ANY time I call them to the reading corner now, they go into a circle #DublinRestorative

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

Q5 Have you tried any circles with your Ss? When do you like to use circles with Ss in your classroom- morning meeting, after lunch, ending the day? #DublinRestorative

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

@JeffreyDrewno Agreed! If you can't pull them right away, I think the cool down time to reflect actually offers an awesome opportunity for reflection and thought!

[JenWecksteinJr @JrWeckstein]

@RogersMarthaM You beat me to it!! This is us too!!
