#TTTRuthes I can use theme to help kids make connections to real life to have a better understanding of character motivations. I can do a library station for kids to help decide about what genre a book is.
#tttruthes I think showing comparing different text more often will help them see the difference in the structure of a text. Going from just describing to explaining patterns in poetry. Using a rollercoaster example to see if a poem is a narrative.
#TTTRuthes Seeing the difference from 2nd to 4th in how they test drama. Making sure to teach the structure of a play. Realizing how much inferencing really goes on in a drama.
Love the binder for organizing notes about writing. Guerrero really like how you are using the color post it notes. Flores likes how your using the stations to help reinforce the spelling pattern. #TTTRuthes
Guerrero and Hoening both really like the list of books that can be used for read aloud. It’s color coded and very helpful for finding genre specific books. #tttruthes#ruthes
#tttruthes Having an organized library helps with student understanding of genres. Genre trees help with students understanding story elements. (Flores) Using pictures in writing will help students understand expectations.(Guerrero)
Really like the ideas for the zipper bags.
Love the planning guide for guided reading.
Remembering the patterns of power and calming fire for writing time.

Seesaw is great for getting shy kids to speak up. (Guerrero)
Seesaw is great to here students thoughts. (Hoening)
