#OTD 184 years ago, Texas won its independence at the Battle of San Jacinto.
May we always remember the sacrifice of those who fought to change the course of history.
God Bless Texas.
@tenilleshade My daughters already finished a 1,000 piece puzzle and have now embarked on a 500 piece pizzle race! Who will finish their puzzle first? 🧩
Today was celebration day for our young writers! Third graders came to hear Kindergarten’s teaching books. It was a great culmination of our first weeks of learning! #RannFamily @tenilleshade
Writing Workshop with 5 year olds seemed scary, but after just a couple of weeks, it’s working so well! My Ss love to “put their writing hats on” everyday and will tell anyone that THEY are writers! It’s so exciting! #r11litchat
A3: Have consistent routines for Workshop, make reading and writing fun for my students, talk to/ follow other educators and learn from their experiences as well. #r11litchat
@tenilleshade I was nervous about Workshop in Kinder, but with clear behavior guidelines and lots of chants and sayings to stay on track (a small class doesn’t hurt) I feel like it’s going great so far!
A2: I didn’t even start my behavior management for the first week, I wanted to gauge my group of kiddos first. I landed on a version of what my new team uses with a little something different for positive reinforcement. #r11litchat
