Too often in school students are writing what they think the teacher wants to hear. Students need more opportunities to explore their thinking, to share their stories and insights.
Our Module D Rollout & Collaborative Planning Hub was a success! Get ready for some “revolutionary” reading and writing in 5th Grade classrooms next month! @slaughter_holly
My amazing 5th Grade ELA focus group came together today to review and revise our last round of curriculum for the year. They are shining examples that team work really does make the dream work! #literacyleaders#dreamteam
Patty Berg, an elite golfer, once said, “What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, concentration and the will to win.” 5th Grade South County ELA Champions did not disappoint! @hollyslaughter
These 5th Grade ELA Champions were truly champions of literacy yesterday. Principals and teachers worked hard. They invested their time and energy to ensure our district meets the needs of ALL of our readers and writers.
About 40 5th grade teachers came together last night to collaboratively plan for Module C. I love witnessing teachers from different schools across the district supporting each other. #planwithpassion
@em_weidner Today I told the kids in the “bee” group at Northshore that I would let them “be” as they continued working but they didn’t appreciate my pun as much as I wish they would have!
We had a book buffet in class today. Students created a food that showcased 7 different literary standards from our book Fish in a Tree. @LynMullalyHunt@disruption_edu
Ms. Campbell at Jamerson confers with a group of readers as they tackle comparing and contrasting ways authors organize information about the same topic. All students are engaged in this work! @Brandiemacon2
Ms. Jank’s class is working on supporting multiple main ideas of a text for the first time by color-coding the details that connect to each main idea found in these articles about carnivorous plants!
