My students are DETERMINED to continue their partner work on learning about the authors use of playful words in the text. We had a small issue with our classroom so we took our learning outside. #flexibilty#determined#nitschscholars

Twilight Tuesday!!! The students enjoyed their reading challenge time in the dark today. They used their flashlights to read their text and look for the lesson that the story was teaching them. They had so much fun! #readingNthedark#NitschKISD#knightscholars
Charting with Chicks! This is an AWESOME way to spend my Saturday! AMAZING new ideas and strategies coming to my classroom this week! I am so excited to use these with my students driving the learning with their pencil/pen/marker.

After reading and analyzing the text, students discussed the character (Camilla Cream) with their partners. They used parts of the text to describe Camilla in depth. ❤️#readersanalyze#NitschKISD#powerofyet#knightscholars
I am working with a 1st Grade teacher and they are looking for ideas on how students can share stories and ideas in innovative ways in their #frimm classroom. Suggestions? Thoughts? #1stchat
So true! We need to slow down and think before judging. These kids have been placed we have never been, stop and listen to them. Talk to them and guide them. You may not see the results now from it, but change will happen.
The best teachers I had in #school took the time to chat with me when I made a poor choice (behaviorally or academically).
They also gave me the opportunity for a fresh start the next day.
The best #teachers I had knew the importance of the journey.
