- Great discussions in our grade level PLC meetings focused on what practices have helped our students make such growth and what is needed to help our struggling students (I'll share a full list of notes and MAP data with you later by email). My personal favorite celebration is hearing about students that had worked on their lowest strand since the fall and now turned it into their highest strand...talk about the power of a Growth Mindset!
- After reading a Scholastic News article together as a class, the teacher pointed out that there were 4 other books in their classroom library related to the same topic (Can you guess what books disappeared from the classroom library by the end of the day?).
- Use of a youtube clip to help build students' background knowledge and serve as a thinking prompt (with small group discussions) before moving into the social studies lesson of the day.
