I'm most proud of sticking with one program for the year instead of getting distracted by all of the new and shiny things I've learned about.

I'm proud of my students for giving constructive feedback.

I've grown as a teacher leader by actually taking a leadership role with the DLC and becoming someone that people can come to for help.

Today I opened up the option to give feedback.

Students recorded themselves reading their fictional stories. When they were done, they could choose another student's story to listen to, then had to leave a compliment and a suggestion. I provided sentence frames to help.

Last week students worked in groups of 4 to act out the SWBS prewrites that students had created. They used seesaw to record their skit. The writing that has come out of this activity has been amazing! Way more volume than previous units. At the end of the unit, I'm hoping to act out the stories again and compare and contrast their prewrite vs their finished product.

Second grade is interested in using SeeSaw in the classroom.

We used the strategy "Getting Venn-y With It". It was my first introduction to Venn Diagrams and using pictures was helpful. I recorded their thoughts on SeeSaw.

Students are given a task card near the end of independent reading like "describe your favorite part of the story" or "who would you recommend this story to and why?" and "Which part surprised you and why". Students must take a picture of the cover of their book, or the page that surprised them.

The first time using SeeSaw, students interviewed each other describing their clothespin dolls. We watched a few of the videos and asked students for feedback on how to make the videos even better next time.

Student Suggestions:

1. Counting down before starting.

2.  Peers need to expand on answers

3. Interview against a wall so others are not in the background.

Students accessed google classroom to take a science test online. It was my first time using a google form in the classroom. I think using the digital format was nice, but some students may have done better on paper. It was helpful to put pictures on it, in color and legible which sometimes is not an option on paper.

I tried out nearpod prior to our field trip to the Zoo. It was a fun and interactive program that the students really enjoyed. It did take longer than I anticipated. If I use it again, I will give more time for discussion and turning and talking. We also found out that Google SafeSearch is not always that safe.....
