@HodaAndJenna The teachers of Chittick Elementary School in East Brunswick, NJ created a fun video to boost the spirits of our students and families! We’d love for you to see it! https://t.co/BIg0vXAuN3
Teamwork makes the dream work! We are wrapping up our historical fiction book club unit by making Z Charts explaining the theme of our books. #ZChart#FifthGrade@ChittickEB@EBPublicSchools
Today, Chittick revealed our One School, One Book title: The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies. We kicked off the festivities with an assembly featuring students and staff previewing the plot with a skit. Can’t wait to get started reading together! @EBPublicSchools#GoEBbears
5th Grade practiced writing in the text structures before they begin their informational books! After practicing each structure, Ss highlighted all the awesome “signal” words used among the group.

Totally fangirling over @JSerravallo and her informative and impactful visit to our district today. Can’t wait to use new strategies to further understand texts & readers!
A4: Can’t choose! It takes organization to maintain data collection, which leads to flexibility with future plans and collaboration with colleagues to implement your ideas! 😜 #EBEdChat
A4: #ebedchat For me its collaboration! As a second year teacher I find my success is greatly impacted by the ideas and encouragement of those around me! Shout out to @MsServidioEB for the support today in helping reassure my goals in math :)
A3: Have an “accountability partner!” Set a goal and meet regularly to discuss how you implemented it, what worked, what didn’t, etc. Knowing you will have this meeting will keep you accountable! Did this my first year teaching and it was beyond beneficial! #EBEdChat
A2: A recent meeting I attended had a presentation about ELLs days after one entered my class from Peru. It brought about lots of personal goal setting in order to reach this student. #EBEdChat
A1: Hi everyone! I’m Allison, 5th Grade teacher at Chittick. I’m more of an end of the year reflecter than a beginning of the year goal setter. I learn so much about myself and my growth when I take time to reflect! #EBEdChat
Students analyzing mentor argument essays in a silent discussion protocol. Their discussions led to important discoveries about what’s needed to make argument essays powerful! @ChittickEB
Students took a virtual field trip to One Hotel, Miami FL to explore how the concepts they’re learning in Science about trash removal & conservation applies to the real world! @MsLongette @ChittickEB
56 bins full and over 1,000 items collected for families in need this holiday season! Many thanks to Chittick student council for pepping up the school to collect a record breaking amount! Ms. Pignataro and I are so proud to advise you! @EBPublicSchools
A5: No better feeling than support from other teachers! Have each other’s backs, tackle challenges together, and SHARE resources to take some weight off of each other #ebedchat
