Thank you Tammy and Krista for the conferring strategies. I loved how you showed examples of what you do in your classroom.

Thinking gaming worlds.... not Kahoot type games. One take away was you can make any skill or Lucy unit anchor chart and make them into "badges" that students can earn. Students can demonstrate and earn these badges during reading conferences

New idea: tooth picks in play-doh (write sight words, letters, number, etc) Make sure using the right grip

Loved all the info with conferences! Coaching conferences can be a concise 3 minutes (connect, teach, coach, link) and compliment conferences are a quick 90 seconds to connect with kiddos and let them know what they're doing well!

Something as simple as color coding post-its in your mentor text can be very impactful.

Review your students writing. They already have suggested responses so it isn't as much work. A lot of the suggestions are: expand on ideas, correct spelling, and use less boring words (with suggested words to use next time or fix the current writing).

Alex reminded me that it just takes a moment to reach out to one parent about something positive via email or phone. We see so much greatness in our room daily and we need to share out more.

Night Zookeeper is a great resource!  If you need help getting it started I'm happy to help.

With students who you suspect may be selectively mute, do not greet with "hello/good bye", encourage any volume in classroom, try to ask parents for a language sample from home, do not make direct eye contact when asking questions, correct other students who try to speak for them, allow for nonverbal communication opportunities.

Phonemic awareness and mapping words helps students transfer the words and their word parts into long term memory.  Say it, tap it, map it, read it. Can use spelling patterns learned as well as snap words when mapping.
