Happy Diwali to our families that celebrate! India’s biggest & most important holiday of the year, Diwali is a celebration that brings family & community together through food, prayers, lights to symbolize victory of light over darkness, good over evil & knowledge over ignorance.

Today we continued our EOG prep with another student led project! Groups created posters focused on one ELA standard, explained how to show mastery of it, and tomorrow will create questions for a text that address their standard for their classmates to answer🎉 @WhiteOakElem

[Ms. DelPrete @MissDelPrete]

And a sneak peek at some of the amazing student-led presentations to come tomorrow😍

OH how the tables have turned! This week Ss have been focusing on one concept to review and give a lesson/test to their classmates on in preparation for our EOG! S/O @pearse_margie for the idea!! Check out some of their amazing final projects🤩🤩 @WhiteOakElem

Today we continued our unit on fractions and practiced determining fractions on a number line! Students had to identify each unit fraction and where their classmates were “standing” on the number line😎 @WhiteOakElem

[Ms. DelPrete @MissDelPrete]

Today we explored the concept of a unit fraction with the help of a tasty treat to end the long week!😋 @WhiteOakElem

We sat down with literacy expert @ReadingShanahan to talk about how reading unlocks the doors to social & political power, why kids should learn to read like chemists, and what a true, evidence-based approach to #literacy across grade levels will take.

There is overwhelming research showing homework does little to improve achievement, especially in early years, and can actually have negative effects. Recess however has many positive effects such as improved self regulation of emotions, improved interpersonal skills and focus!

This space has quickly become mine and my Ss favorite part of our classroom! It is home to completed graffiti walls and the universal concepts(UC) we are connecting to each week. I am loving how students have connected the UC to the texts they are reading😻😻 @WhiteOakElem

[Ms. DelPrete @MissDelPrete]

After reading this article a few weeks back, I knew I needed to make some changes in my classroom. I set up a space for a reading graffiti wall and we began using it today. They absolutely loved it and I can’t wait to see more of their responses to their books!😃 @WhiteOakElem

Reading logs are a common fixture in elementary schools—despite research showing they hurt students’ motivation to read. Here are some better alternatives.

After learning about symbols and traditions of Diwali the last few days during an EL flex week, Ss engaged in a writing piece to explain a symbol that represents positivity and light in their life! I love how thoughtful and personal each response was🤩 @WhiteOakElem

[Ms. DelPrete @MissDelPrete]

Todays math lesson was all about making connections between solving strategies, making estimates and checking our work through inverse operations! The #mathtalk that came from student conversations about their peer’s work was incredible @WhiteOakElem
