Q4: it can be tricky getting academic talk to happen during blended learning. If the student is live, they can talk through the video with classmates. On Canvas, I like using discussion boards to allow students to collaborate! #1stTeachChat
Q3: Planning station groups based on student needs is an excellent way to promote student growth as well as help you plan. You can differentiate different methods and content based on the needs of students. Meeting students where they are at! #1stTeachChat
Q2: It is so important to set routines and procedures for academic talk time. Make sure your students know what the expectation is and what they should be doing. Itโs also a good idea to walk and monitor as they talk. I love to hear them share! #1stTeachChat
Q1: Academic talk and chat gives students an awesome way to learn from each other. Sometimes they have a way of explaining it that we may not have! #1stTeachChat
Iโm so excited for the fun adventures I will get to go on! ๐ Missing my students more than they know! #distancelearning#fw2@belltylerisd @tylerisdlearn
Thankful to live in a world with technology so I can still see my students and hear their sweet voices. You donโt realize how much you love them until you canโt see them. I miss you all.โค๏ธ @belltylerisd#distancelearning#fw2
A kid fell asleep during a quiz. I encouraged him to wake up and work, but he refused. At the end of the day, he asked if he could finish the quiz tomorrow. At first, I thought ABSOLUTELY NOT, but then I remembered that second chances are more important than proving my point.
There are days when I try to implement the latest technology and most involved games, but sometimes these students beg for simplicity. Dry erase boards and Smart Board markers it is! Whatever keeps them engaged and learning is what I love! ๐ #bellbears#fw2@belltylerisd
Data analysis day! We chose our favorite cars to take data over and then we created questions to go with our data charts. @Bugatti you are very popular among 3rd grade Bell Bears! I love finding out what my students are passionate about! ๐ #fw2#bellbears@belltylerisd
I LOVE seeing my students utilize every single resource available when answering questions! The more they interact with them, the more they will memorize and learn them. ๐ฝโบโน #bellbears#fw2@belltylerisd @tylerisdlearn @TylerisdEleMath
These students amaze me day in and day out! They show up and work SO hard. Determining area of irregular shapes is a little more fun when itโs on the tables ๐ My table washers are going to be so excited! #magicerasertime#fw2#bellA6for6#bellbears@belltylerisd
Shoutout to @bathbodyworks for helping us #fw2 in small groups! Itโs always a competition to work hardest and get to choose which one we use for the day. Clean hands and hard working small group means teacher win! @tylerisdlearn @belltylerisdold
I LOVE interactive math journals! Itโs a perfect teacher table activity and itโs so fun watching the students flip through their math journals and remember all the fun activities weโve done! ๐ #fw2#bellbears@belltylerisd @tylerisdlearn
