*4K students were "skywriting" their letters together while each student got to write the letter on the board. This not only gave a lot of repetition for how to form the letters, but it also had them all actively engaged while only one at a time went to the board.
*During check-in/reflection time, 5K students were talking about their individual goals for writing and what they could have done better if they didn't reach their goal (I never would have thought 5K students could have these conversations!)
*When 2nd graders were given a choice for which math board to choose in a SMARTBoard game, they chose the hardest one (because they wanted to be challenged!)
*4th graders writing fictional stories, but they had to include a "lesson" to learn since they have been learning about the Author's Message during Daily 5.
