We have lots of fun ways to learn in our class today! So thankful for all of the resources we have to make it easier. #gwcstrong @GWCarverES

Another advantage of being a teacher. I have 21 little people to celebrate with me on my birthday! #gwcstrong @GWCarverES

Doing the weather and helping others out are one of our favorite things to get our morning routine going! #gwcstrong @hogfan4sure @GWCarverES

A:5 All of the books by Linda Dorn we have used, such as Interventions that Work, Apprentinceship in Literacy, and Scaffolding Young Writers would be great resources. #carverchat @GWCarverES

A:4 I would like to learn better ways to work with kids with visual impairments and how I can help assist them in their learning. #carverchat @GWCarverES

A:3 Giving my kids opportunities to apply what they learned independently is the best way for them to transition. If I set the expectation for them to try and that it’s ok to fail, then can learn from that. #carverchat @GWCarverES

A:2 To ensure I am scaffolding and not rescuing my students I let them do the work. Give them time and be patient. #carverchat @GWCarverES

[Karrie @karriebspector]

A:1 I use modeling to begin with, but then co-creating charts and then getting them to write independently about their thinking. #carverchat @GWCarverES

[Karrie @karriebspector]

Intro: I’m a 2nd grade teacher at Carver and to me scaffolding is like gradual release of responsibility. You start off by modeling and then gradually give them more responsibility until they are independent. #carverchat @GWCarver

Inferring was going on in our room today while trying to figure out what 100 items they brought. Some even shared their yummies! #100days #gwcstrong @GWCarverES

[Karrie @karriebspector]

Our stores are open for business! These kids have designed and made their items, created their commercials, and are now FINALLY shopping! #gwcstrong @GWCarverES

Q5:The library assists us with fiction and nonfiction books that are content based for what we are teaching at that time as well as something we can used to link comprehension strategies and skills. #carverchat

[Karrie @karriebspector]

Q4: I do want to read The Wild Card by Hope and Wade King. I think Teach Like a Champion looks interesting too. #carverchat

Q3:Reward programs seem to work. They are assigned 15 minutes of reading as homework each night. Their reading log is proof in which they get a pizza coupon for once completed. Then they also are rewarded for the amount of tests they pass. #carverchat
