Feeling nostalgic- Sharing some moments from my second year teaching.

"Never be afraid to be silly with your students because that's when some of the best learning can take placeπŸ˜ŠπŸ’•. From accents to monster voices, directions are always better when recited together with a dash of collective silliness. Engagement and giggles guaranteed as soon as I say, "mirrors up!" πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ»"

"Morning meeting activity + math review = yes please! πŸ™‹πŸ» I love using movement to teach and review math concepts😊 A little dash of fun always helps those lessons stick with my kiddos, and who can say no to something that brings on happy dancesπŸ’πŸ»πŸ’•"

Want to know my secret to writing block bliss? πŸŒŸπŸ™ŒπŸ»

Two words... graphic πŸ‘πŸ» organizers πŸ‘πŸ»

When I first started providing graphic organizers to all of my writers, I was going against the grain. The thinking in my school community during my first few years of teaching was that graphic organizers for writing were used only as a differentiation tool for below-benchmark students. This is a fine idea, however, I am in the camp of providing differentiation tools and support to all the learners in my classroom. So, I began using graphic organizers for writing in my writers’ workshop mini-lessons and independent practice times. The difference was amazing! Students at all benchmark levels were producing higher-quality writing pieces and moving through the writing process with more ease!

Now, the me share the top 3 reasons why graphic organizers produce a blissful writing block:

1️⃣ Organizational Skills

2️⃣ Helping Reluctant Writers

3️⃣ Dive Deep and Improve Those Skills
