I feel like it would create a stronger sense of community virtually between students as well as teachers. ]]> 2022-08-12 14:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259863115 De-escalate https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259863256 During a class at the Berry Center, we were given ‘tools’ to use to work on de-escalating situations with dignity. I plan to use ALL the wonderful ideas, tips, and tricks to work with helping our students who show big emotions to get to a calm place. ]]> 2022-08-12 14:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259863256 https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259864191 One of the most exciting things that I have learned during this week at PD is all of the small group ideas during the HMH session. ]]> 2022-08-12 14:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259864191 PD Week https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259864797 1. Meredith Alvaro writing and reading strategies was full of great ideas!

2. The strategies she suggested were aligned with STAAR 2.0 and very manageable. All in one.

3. Incorporate it in to planning and model! Support in any way!!]]> 2022-08-12 14:25:18 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259864797 1.) I am excited about the backup procedure strategy for small group instruction in word work. https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259864849 2.) I’m excited because I now have more skills to help my students when they do not know how to read a word. 

3.) I will implement this strategy in small group or individual instruction. ]]> 2022-08-12 14:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259864849 PD Takeaway https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259864869 I’m excited about what I learned in the de-escalating with dignity session at the Berry center. It was all about how to de escalate heated situations in the classrooms and handle our students big emotions that they don’t know how to handle. ]]> 2022-08-12 14:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259864869 Best idea https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865165 I am excited about the conversation language anchar charts.  These anchor charts will definitely help my EL students participate in our whole group or partner discussions.  These AC will contain the sentence stems necessary for oral participation. ]]> 2022-08-12 14:25:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865165 I really enjoyed a workshop on helping emergent bilingual students. The presenter showed us how to go through PWIM (Picture Word Inductive Model). I found that this is a great way to develop vocabulary to create sentences and paragraphs and also incorporating grammar into the activity. https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865197 2022-08-12 14:25:51 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865197 The Love Bug list to help students pick their brain for writing. I like this idea because it takes the stress away from students when deciding what to write about, and it gives them an opportunity to spend more time writing than thinking about what to write. I will use this in the class for when it’s time to write to give students inspiration on the many different things they can express in their writing. https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865372 2022-08-12 14:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865372 1. Ways to keep the class engaged https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865552 2.Because it was useful information 
3. I will think outside of the box when it comes to how I begin a lesson ]]> 2022-08-12 14:26:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865552 https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865582 I thought it was great to see the old way questions looked on the STAAR test and what they’re going to look like now. It will help me when working with my small groups on STAAR-like passages.]]> 2022-08-12 14:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865582 https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865673 I really enjoyed my learning time this week! What I really loved the most was learning how to build better relationships with my students this year! ]]> 2022-08-12 14:26:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259865673 PD Week https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259866323 I love how the word study lessons will be set up in Schoology. They appear to be very detailed and set up so that teachers can have a very productive lesson. I will us this during my word work time and I can’t wait to see how much this is going to help my students!]]> 2022-08-12 14:27:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259866323 PD Week https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259866567 The refreshing of information and knowledge thi  week has been very helpful. This week  brought about an excitement on building systems within us and around us to support us through this journey. The information learned this week will be implemented into the classroom using the expanding and exploration of meaningful conversations and hands on learning growth.]]> 2022-08-12 14:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259866567 karlavanhorn https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259869551 1. Engagement is formulaic!

2. Love getting more ideas on how to fully engage reluctant students

3. Follow ATLAS when planning for lessons]]> 2022-08-12 14:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_simmons4/5tds3w5e1lk1vkw/wish/2259869551
