Lover of kids, educators, kindness, tech & instruction. On the never ending pursuit for a good book!๐You can find me in my classroom @tvems ! Views are my own.
@tvems 8th graders did reading sprints as a way to get into their Critical Literacy Unit books! They read for short bursts of time and answered a question when the timer went off. The questions helped them with learning about the characters, setting and conflict. @TV_Vikes
We had a discussion about what makes a great classroom environment. I told them what I need from them and they filled out their own pie chart for what they need from me and their peers. We combined our ideas and we now have a balanced set of norms to follow! @tvems
I love using https://t.co/2fG5gpLyoY! It is a quick & easy way to organize info for students to reference during their work time. I can plan what I want on my board the day before & then present it when I need it!
My classes have earned a new badge on Epic! They started their reading journey with Epic at the beginning of the year and it has really taken off! Iโm very proud of the readers they have become!
Help me help my ELA colleagues as they build their #classroomlibrary. Consider purchasing a book from this wishlist based on wishes from my ELA colleagues! #reading https://t.co/I2W2nK43bg
My VIP had a great time decorating the door for kindness week! Their sprinkles have kindness quotes and they all admitted that the donuts were making them kinda hungry. ๐ฉ๐#KindnessMatters#vikingsmakingadifference#weareTVEMS
Make conferencing a thing in your classroom! I ask the students a specific question and have them leave a post it as an exit ticket. I match the post-its up based on need/growth on the skill. Once they are sorted, I have 5-7 small conferring groups! Easy as that!
Thank you so much for all of the support! ๐๐Using our Amazon registry, ALL of the nonfiction books were purchased in just FOUR days! Our donations totaled around $700 and some even came from states away! My kids are so excited to get their hands on these books. #proudviking

Today was our first lesson with @careacter! We had so much fun talking about what it takes to build a supportive community in our advisory group as well as in our school. Here are some @tvems 6th graders showing off our activity for today - Claim Your Corner!
Advisory is in full swing @tvems! We spent time talking about our norms and what we can expect when we meet together. Looking forward to this year with this group of great kids.
