@edutopia Great article! Draws a clear connection between background knowledge and reading comprehension. @mbernal_DrB

5th grade students honored the recent Lunar New Year holiday by reading nonfiction texts about related customs & traditions, drawing Dragons, and learning to write a traditional greeting. Sharing diverse cultural customs is so important! @mbernal_DrB @fernbrooknj

Great ideas for promoting SEL in the classroom!

As I write in my latest @edutopia article, tweens must negotiate a more complex social & academic system, w/out life experience, while in the throes of puberty. Teachers are not therapists, but here are 6 skills they can teach kids to reduce their stress. https://t.co/8BsELJjPRh

Good idea for a choice board

[Katie Novak @KatieNovakUDL]

Peer feedback is most effective when it is focused and comes with clear guidelines. A choice board, like this one below helps to provide students with a sense of agency.

Make a copy to make it work for you!
