Today in the ELA class I was in the T was teaching the Ss how to write a great paragraph. The focus was on transition words. #edu382

@ThatGuyDragon I had that same thought yesterday when a student was using one. It distracted me but he seemed focused. #accomodations #edu382

Just adding one new student into the classroom can change the whole #groupdynamics #edu382

#Thepowerofrelationships can help teachers work with students who are displaying challenging behaviors. #edu382

I like listening to the the #multipleviewpoints the Ss have during discussions about the book. #edu382

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

In the book the Ss are reading one character had a different #perspective then the main character about a certain situation. #edu382

T used the example of a S alone at lunch and that Ss could be courageous by sitting with them during lunch #relatingtostudents #edu382

T showed this video about the new book Ss will be reading in class https://t.co/d33cgIIQKG #expectations #hook #edu382

Teacher spent this week practicing for the #MEAS and also defining what is courage to kick off new unit #teachingstyles #edu382

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

It was interesting watching the T ask questions to #activatethinking before the Ss listened and read along with the article #teachingstyles

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

For homework the class had to read a short article and use text codes just like we practiced in class #connections #edu382

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

Ss used a graphic organizer for notes when reading a short article #teachingstyles #connections #edu382

I love that T celebrated the end of a unit! Dancing, food, compliment card (for essays) kahoot, and games! #expectations #edu382

A checklist is a great #accommodation for all students when writing an essay #edu382

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

Today the teacher told the Ss when they started their work that the noise level should be at no more than level one. #expectations #EDU382

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

A student asked me to read what he had written for his essay. It made me feel happy that he wanted to share with me #randomthought #edu382

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

Students were looking for #textevidence in their books to support their claims for their literacy essays #ownershipoflearning #edu382

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

Teacher provides many examples of work for the Ss to refer to and guides to help organize and outline their essays #teachingstyles #edu382

[amanda r @amanda_r_UNE]

I enjoyed watching the students working in their literacy essays #ownershipoflearning #edu382

Having a "help board" for Ss who are stuck and need Assistance is a great way for teacher to know who to help #classroommanagement #edu382
