@JerrettIrwin @UvondaMitchell Not only would you be helping them with reading but also showing them the proper way to act in a library as well as how to respect the books. That is really good idea.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@CharityyNW @UvondaMitchell That is a really good idea. This is a good way to get students to like going to the library and showing them how much they can get out of going and seeing all the different books.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

I like how our media specialist sets books aside that are free for the kids to go get. They come back with multiple books that they can't wait to read. I am going to start setting some time aside for them to be able to read what they get. #CF20CultureofLiteracy @UvondaMitchell

@ericajacksonhil @trisha_0920 @TrulyRakia @larry_gatapp @UvondaMitchell That's what we talked about as well. Them not taking it seriously does not really give us the true data we need. We may be spending to much time on something the student really knows just because they didn't want to take the assessment.

@waitinggirl123 @UvondaMitchell This is definitely something I will be using in the future. I am always looking for new resources and ideas to use.

@Melissa_RTR @UvondaMitchell Brain Pop Jr. Is a definite go to for me. They love to do the quizzes at the end of the videos.

Brain Pop or Brain Pop Jr. is a go to for me. It has many different sources I can use in my classroom. We watch the videos and can take the quizzes as well as read other material or have worksheets to do. #CF20DigitalResources @UvondaMitchell

@Melissa_RTR @UvondaMitchell I have seen some of my students do this as well. They will cover up different parts and then put them together.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@ericajacksonhil @CharityyNW @UvondaMitchell I like how you get them to ask a classmate before they ask you. It is allowing them to learn from others and they may in return be able to help someone else.

This is actually my daughter but I thought it fit well with this week. She wrote a letter to the tooth fairy all on her own. She sounded out the words and wrote what she sounded out. I was so amazed at what she did all on her own. #cf20Phonics @UvondaMitchell

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@ericajacksonhil @UvondaMitchell Word walls are very helpful. My kids like to refer back to the word wall if they are having a hard time remembering a word. Once they see it they are able to explain it.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@JunnieMckay @UvondaMitchell I love the idea about playing Hangman to help with learning the words. It is a fun way to engage them.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

I am going to start using the Sticky Note Day for understanding our Vocabulary words in Math. I think this is a great way to get them engaged in our lesson for the day. #cf20vocabularyideas @UvondaMitchell

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@JunnieMckay @UvondaMitchell I love this idea to use it for bell ringers. I will have to keep this in mind.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@feefer128 @UvondaMitchell I really like this one. I could see myself using this one in my science class.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

I can see myself using this for our Food Web Project we are doing now. #CF20SinglePointRubric @UvondaMitchell

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@TrulyRakia @UvondaMitchell This is so true. Even in 4th grade being able to see a picture and/or model it themselves is how we are able to understand a problem. Sometimes you need that visualization. You can't always rely on just words.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@feefer128 @UvondaMitchell I like that. They sometimes just want a quick fix to get an answer. This way they have to some what research and really think to get to thr correct answer.

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

I could see myself using Guess Yes or No. Use it as an activity before starting the lesson. See what they may know to what they don't. Let them explain their answer to heat their thought process. #CF20MakingMeaning @UvondaMitchell

[Whitney Kimbrel @whitney_kimbrel]

@trisha_0920 @TrulyRakia @UvondaMitchell So true. It does not always matter how old they are. They still should be able to have some fun every now and then.
