A9: @Egotthornets and I conduct morning meanings, give them choice in their independent reading books, flexible seating, choosing classroom jobs, student centered studies, choice boards for projects, and Tinker Time during Makerspace #beREALhornetsr2
My heart healthly salt is introducing students to amazing books, building those relationships, hands on lessons, room transformations, and enthusiasm in my teaching!#beREALhornetsr2
A6: One drive by moment is having great conversations with the kids. May it be about their personal life or the current book they are reading. I also make time to share mentor texts or read aloud from chapter books. Students need read to daily no matter their age #beREALhornetsr2
A5: My brand is to bring the sparkle and glitter to learning. Making it fun and attractive to kiddos. Building those relationships, laughing with the kids, and learning beside them! #beREALhornetsr2
A4: This year, I will cannonball into our new reading and writing curriculum. I will add tweeks to it to make it my own and to make it engaging. I plan to still teach those lessons that I love and read my favorite mentor texts along with the new curriculum. #beREALhornetsr2
@DrWatkinsCHS@Egotthornets No, the class voted on one topic. We studied that topic all month, then at the end of the month we had a day to celebrate our learning. We did room transformations and lots of fun activities! It was so much fun, and the kiddos loved it!
A2: Really learning about students and their interests can help us create lessons that are meaningful to students. @Egotthornets and I did student centered studies last year. The students got to choose a topic they were interested in to learn about for a month. #berealhornetsr2
A3: I think the Innovators' Compass would be great to use when working on goal setting with students. Setting goals is so important, even with young kiddos. #berealhornetsr2
AI: At the beginning of the school year @Egotthornets and I always do getting to know you and goal setting activities where students get to know each other, we get to know them, and they get to know us. We also conduct morning meetings daily. #berealhornetsr2
Our student-centered study this month was dogs!! We read all about dogs, had a dog breeder as a mystery reader, had a dog writing competition, did some dog math, and made some doggy toys and treats! Whew! What a day! #dewey45@Egotthornets
