Smackdown - Share your favorite APP/Site/Program
What is your favorite APP/site/program?
Would you like to share it at the upcoming Tech and Training Thursday? We are planning a Smackdown and would love to hear about it. During the smackdown, each person that wants to share will have only 1 or 2 minutes to show the APP and how to implement it in the classroom. The idea is to gather as many ideas as possible, then take and use what you like best. If you are interested, complete this sign up: Strategies for Differentiation: Tiered Activity
I thought this was a great visual example of how to design tiered activities. It can easily be adjusted to your needs.
Lucy Calkins Writing Check In
I hope you enjoyed the Pam Smith writing sessions and were inspired to continue the great things you've been doing as well as fine tune. Here is a reminder of where you should be on our pacing chart. Small adjustments may be needed, but for the most part you should stick true to this pacing. Remember, that during the "pink" weeks you can do some choice writing or scaffold your next unit (informational or opinion depending on your grade level) writing.
Don't forget to display writing checklists in your classroom. Each 5th grade should have the writing checklists displayed to ensure connections across content areas. All grade level checklists are located on the cd that came with the kit. The dual grade checklists are extremely helplful.
