English as a Second Language Teacher for 3rd Grade at Grace Norton Rogers Elementary School

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Introducing or reviewing the skill, Compare & Contrast, we compared ourselves to a friend then looked at the similarities and differences of the characters in Turk & Runt ! #Reading #ESL

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Extension activity for our #ESL Team Toolkit Unit of Arctic Animals - we needed to practice following directions so we created a Penguin Glyph! Answering the questions first so we had to follow the directions that we made!

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Ask and answer questions assessed with different leveled texts so all students can focus on practicing the application of the skill without text difficulty preventing them #Reading #ESL

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Picture prompt writing two ways! First picture shows sentence frames provided for a group of struggling writers. While the second picture shows a group of high leveled writers trying without sentence frame scaffold. #ESL #Writing

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

When we learned about text features, we focused on labeling subtitles and thinking about their importance! We chose one to make a prediction about what the section would be about before we read! #Readingskills #ESL

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Having anchor charts with sentence frames help students turn their thoughts into written words or spoken words when explaining how Penguins survive in the Arctic! #ESL

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

For the Zookeeper unit in #ESL Team Toolkit, we imagined ourselves as zookeepers! We wrote about the order of animals we would take care of and then spoke about our day as a zookeeper on Flipgrid!

Using our new ESL curriculum resource this year to strengthen reading skills about different topics!

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Continuing to attack multisyllabic words starting with closed syllables!!

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Extension activity for higher leveled students whose ACCESS speaking scores need to be improved. We read an article together, discuss the topic/ new vocabulary then they need to answer a question on Flipgrid using two vocabulary words we learned #ESL

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

We're finding the main idea! Student were assigned a RAZkids close reading passage based on their level then they had to share their response on Flipgrid! #ESL

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Our purpose is to learn to organize our writing into main idea paragraphs! Each shape represents a researched information that needs to be included in their paragraphs! Can't finish the paragraph without finishing the pattern! #ESL

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Dress like your favorite book character day! Such great ideas from these friends!

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Recognizing and understanding quotation marks in books can be very tricky! So we start slow in our small reading groups! #ESL

[Miss Mirra @MissMirra2]

Severe Weather Project takes major communication skills! We are reflecting after each day and making a plan to make the next day run smoother! #ESL
