Positives --

Reviewing what a simile is and allowing them the time to give some examples

Giving them a job - find some examples of similes while reading

Can you think of a time that was hard and how you overcame it?

I love how you randomly chose kids - thank you!

Next Steps --

Just continue to dig deep with those questions and provide differentiated questions - get the kids to think more deeply

Perhaps have the kids share about someone but not necessarily their best friend

David playing with dice during the entire Read Aloud?  Were you aware of this?

I really appreciate how you choose Read Alouds that reflect our learners and their backgrounds - thank you!

Positives --

-- try to find some examples of similes

-- asking questions throughout 🙂

-- standing at the front and making eye contact with every student

-- Do you have any warm memories of your own?

Next Steps -- 

-- choosing kids that never speak up - i.e. Abdulrahim/Abdulrehman

-- perhaps consider circulating so that the kids can see the pictures

-- great job checking in and circulating

-- setting a goal for the poster - excellent!

-- I am Poems - great opportunity for the kids to share

-- Thank you so much for reminding them to listen with 'full body' listening

Next Steps -

-- any time to share?

-- the group of 4 (David's group) kind of crammed into the space by the stand alones - perhaps consider allowing them 

-- Leila - we need to look at her file - it just arrived!  Technology - may need to be supervised?

-- David - you can always send him in with a timer so that he can still be part of the class but can have a break
