Making memes for class has been way too much fun 😂 Showing this to my students tomorrow when we reflect on how well we have been annotating and make goals for ourselves as annotators of texts. They are going to love this :) #Connectin5

A colleague sent me this podcast for kids the other day - I am SO excited to use this as a model next month when we start our Opinion Writing unit! Can't wait to get students started making their own podcasts! #Connectin5 smashboom.org/episode/2022/0…

We don’t teach content. We teach kids.
How do we learn what a successful Socratic Seminar looks like? Fishbowl Socratic Seminar! We watched a few strong SS students have their own SS while we captured our noticings and wonderings. So many insightful discussions came from it!!! @OakPointeElem – at Irmo, SC
