On June 23 the sweetest little boy in the whole world decided to make his grand entrance.

An s was in a terrible crash this year and is lucky to be alive. He told me that he is going to graduation practice today. Despite having to miss a lot of school, he is an 8th grader so deserving of graduation. There’s so much more to teaching than content. #Why #teaching

@AmyHoulihan54 @sarahimboden1 @miss_schwartz06 Congratulations!! When are you due?

[Mrs Butler @MsRivkin]

After some poetry practice this week, the Reading Accel kids had a chance to write their own poem. I love what this student wrote.

Badgers win their sixth national Championship! What a goal Daryl Watts!

@D54Burke Thank you! I had them explain which images made them guess the character and why, which was really great for developing EL speaking skills, even over Zoom!

[Mrs Butler @MsRivkin]

After reading a story excerpt in Accel, we played “4 pictures, 1 character.” A simple and fun way to assess student understanding of character development. Thanks @D54Burke for the idea!

"Don't worry, everything is going to be better in 2021!" & "Stay positive" are examples of #toxicpositivity which can diminish our health & lead to 'fake' relationships. Check out my @educationweek interview. @YaleEmotion @caselorg @rulerapproach @YaleCSC

For Book Buddies today, our jr high readers decided to focus on books about being thankful. Such a great opportunities for Bigs and Littles, alike! @CampiCougars @AmyHoulihan54

[Mrs Butler @MsRivkin]

In Accel today we took some time to reflect and celebrate our accomplishments before setting new goals for the 2nd trimester.

The Big Kids of Book Buddies just finished meeting and planning their next two sessions. They are so excited and ready to see their little friends the next two weeks! @CampiCougars

@AddamsSSDept So clever!

We started a guided debate in Rdg. Accel. We read an article and then the kids either encountered a “pro” slide or “con” slide that decided which side they would argue. They’re collaborating in breakout rooms to support their claims and will present to the class on Monday.

[Mrs Butler @MsRivkin]

This is a really clever idea.

[Jessica Matzke @matzketeaches]

Connecting my virtual class with an in-person class on Meet! Ss worked in small groups, from home & in the classroom, to sequence a story. Once correct, it gave them a @Flipgrid code where both classes shared about our @PosProject strength...open-mindedness!

[Mrs Butler @MsRivkin]

Today was our first full meeting of Book Buddies with @CampiCougars I could not have asked for a more positive and adorable way to end the week.@AddamsCrusaders

In Reading Accel we read a story about a grain of rice that gets doubled each day, so, of course I had to include the math unit we just finished as well!

@VeitMrs Love this so much.

[Mrs Butler @MsRivkin]

Educators, this is my gift to you. Start a bubble bath, go for a walk, run, or drive, and listen. We need this. 💚 https://t.co/W8cSEFVQyi
