It’s always a good time to learn 😊 I signed up for the @UMich course on “Storytelling”- using stories to affect change through empathetic communication! Educators- these courses are free! Check them out! @WESWildcat
Things that made me happy today:
✅ collaboration
✅ high level texts
✅ reading integrated in social studies
✅ engagement
Love using CommonLit and Teams breakout rooms for shared reading challenges! @WESWildcat @ElizabethSapp4@CommonLit@MicrosoftEDU
@WESWildcat @ElizabethSapp4 @rawls_WES Loving these word study units from @readwritemike ! So effective at building specific word knowledge and transferable vocab strategies! @TCRWP 😊
@iTeach_Karleen@padlet@EJJaguars It worked great! They write their initial arguments, then leave feedback for each other, then revise their arguments, then finally vote with the “like” button. Strongest argument wins 😊😊
Starting our reading lesson with meditation helped us prepare to think about our thinking! #Mindfulness

📚12 students in person + 20 students online + 4 book clubs meeting = 1 very proud teacher!
Side note- has anyone else noticed book club best practices changing in simultaneous teaching? I’m finding it now works better to have bigger groups to prompt discussion! 🤔
