Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Class discussion on a passage previously read and discussing the different story elements and a "story arc" (as part of Lucy Calkins units) to identify possible revisions students would be able to go back and make in their own writing drafts (which was going to be their 3rd revision...just like real authors!).
*In the middle of a math lesson when the teacher had to stop for a disruption at the door students took out their books to read without even being told...talk about being trained to steal reading minutes!
Events Next Week: "Jump for Jeans!"
Monday - I will be out of the building most of the day (but back for an XPD)
7:00pm Bandorama concert (which includes our 5th grade musicians!)
Tuesday - Tech Tuesday is a review of Schoology with Ms. Lee
Workout Wednesday :) Feel free to wear your workout attire and get in some extra yoga stretches with your class for a brain break!
Thursday - I will be out of the building learning at the WSRA convention
Friday - Pride Assembly scheduled to start at 2:15 (but there will be duct taping to happen starting at 2:00 for Jump Rope for Heart)
For future planning - Tuesday, February 11 The Energized Guys presentation 10:15 3-5th grades for and 10:50 for 5K-2nd grades
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*I'm still seeking out people for the Tech Showcase...this could either be you showing how to use a tool or your students presenting (which the kids would LOVE!) It could even be as easy as a "theater" show of their iMovies or other presentations they have made! Please let me know if you're willing.
Blogs, Tweets & Pins...Oh My!!!
