In November we created a multipart lesson all about pumpkins (incorporating science, math reading/writing) - any good suggestions on what to cover in December in a 1st gr class? #LitBankStreet
@hanjones_bankst Love this idea of not labeling our readers! I just started guided reading in our classroom and may have to adopt a version of this idea!
@sljournal We are reading Room on the Broom to our first grade class as a read aloud this week. It will be followed by a fun activity where students will get an outline of a broom and will draw and talk about who and what they would take on their own brooms :) #LitBankStreet
@banda_xo Great food for thought! In my class, using "picture power" Is encouraged but at the same time, I have wondered what would happen if we removed the images. I think as students strengthen their skills they may not be as dependent on them but they are a great tool. #LitBankStreet
@hanjones_bankst Your Name is a Song by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow @jtbigelow is also a great book celebrating cultural identity and addressing names that are mispronounced and turning it into something empowering! #educ563session4#LitBankStreet
@laurenfriednash Thank you @laurenfriednash! Right now we are very into the Feelings and Sharing pull tab books by Alice Le Hénand and The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats + many more! #litbankstreet#educ563session1
