Colleagues,
Thank you for providing a rich week of learning for our students! Below are some notes for next week and beyond…
Pac-Man! At lunch duty I noticed this and it got me thinking of the different strategies we can use to make sure that students know and understand what they are learning.
Quick tips from our ELL’s…Carole Nase recently asked some of our ELL students “What helps you to understand what teachers want you to learn in class”? “It really helps me when my teacher shows me what to do in my classroom. Mrs. Sultzer shows me how to write by giving examples.” Rudi Rodriguez
Rudi’s feedback connects with a big idea from SIOP: *Demonstrations provide visual support and modeling for ELL’s. * (Making Content Comprehensible… the SIOP model by Echevarria Vogt, and Short. Thank you Carole!
From early in the week….our 4th graders using iPads to investigate helicopters and how they fly. Go scientific process!
Fans- The fans in our classrooms do not shut off automatically. Thank you for turning them off at the close of the day
