2025-12-11 22:45:53 UTC

Great reminder to slow down and work on some smaller yet important skills.

2025-12-11 22:46:14 UTC

I really liked the immersive lesson.

2025-12-11 22:46:32 UTC

I will incorporate Concept Graphic Organizer

2025-12-11 22:46:56 UTC

It would be nice to follow up on how we can approach sdc kiddos and add more scaffolding to the lessons.

I liked the insight about vocabulary importance and techniques.

nhuerta3 — 2025-12-11 22:47:04 UTC

An insight I have a lot of tools for engagement. I have learned a lot of these and need to go back and using them.

2025-12-11 22:47:14 UTC

The AB lesson was very helpful. Reading non-fiction next week and will try it with my students.

2025-12-11 22:47:50 UTC

I enjoyed learning about the different strategies. it would be help to see different examples by subject matter as we did with the science reading.

2025-12-11 22:47:51 UTC

I enjoyed the time we got to swap lesson ideas. I was able to borrow an activity to incorporate into my end-of-unit projects.

2025-12-11 22:48:04 UTC

I liked the lesson and practicing A/B partner strategy for reading and taking notes.

2025-12-11 22:48:40 UTC

An insight I had was a reminder of all the strategies for building vocabulary. I want to try out each strategy as I sub for classrooms.

2025-12-11 22:48:41 UTC

The Double Bubble graphic organizer activity was useful and a great reminder to use it more in class.

2025-12-11 22:48:59 UTC

It would be nice to follow up on a lesson that incorporates content specific texts (i.e. ElLA text)

lvillasenor5 — 2025-12-11 22:49:12 UTC

I really appreciate the conversation around wanting the students to be able to use the strategies we teach them when working independently.

I enjoyed the Thinking Maps! I definitely will continue looking into other thinking maps and add them to my repertoire of graphic organizers I already use.

2026-03-11 21:45:18 UTC

One on one time with each student on a regular basis to get a better understanding of their abilities, and to have an opportunity to give them timely feedback.

2026-03-11 21:46:11 UTC

Not sure what follow-up would be needed. I did like Lines of Communication. I also like the Ways We Express Our Thinking cards. (Not the flip books.)

2026-03-12 21:37:46 UTC

I would like a set of the flipbooks for student conferences and the conversation cards for student conversations. A need we have is resources for newcomers.

2026-03-12 21:37:51 UTC

I like the various speaking opportunities presented through these exercises. I also like the sentence stems and the graphic organizer options that can be incorporated across the curriculum.

2026-03-12 21:38:24 UTC

Thanks for the Ways We Express Our Thinking card! I think the more we practice and are exposed to EL/ML support strategies, the better our practices become for all students. They all need vocabulary and communication skill supports in all subjects.

2026-03-12 21:38:30 UTC

It would be most beneficial if the district addressed the items raised in the first meeting, as it has been months since the parking lot was created.

I think more information on what the LPAC actually looks like - having a training on how the test looks and how it is graded. We've done this with CAASPP.

eperez291 — 2026-03-12 21:39:52 UTC

Lines of communication was a great way to share our paragraphs. We can see different ways the info is organized by our peers.

2026-03-12 21:40:32 UTC

I love the student flipbook. It has great sentence starters and graphic organizers that I will be incorporating into my lessons

2026-03-12 21:41:36 UTC

I really like the Student Flip Book and was wondering if it can be sent to me.

The sentence frames are great and I will be using them.

armartinez12 — 2026-03-12 21:42:10 UTC

I will incorporate the flip books, talking routines, various strategies in writing to help ML move up to the levels.

2026-03-12 21:45:04 UTC

We can now use the "Line of Communication" to check for students' understanding of language and process.
