More intentional word study. Whole class novels! lcruickshank https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522405569 2021-05-13 19:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522405569 Small groups for everything. We did not co-teach in stations or splitting the class in half. Because of classroom space, my co-teacher couldn't even be in the front of the room and still maintain distance, so one of us stood in back and the other in front. lcruickshank https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522407420 2021-05-13 19:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522407420 Group Work jkelly55 https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522407546 2021-05-13 19:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522407546 Couldn't do it because of distancing and inflexibility with seating charts lcruickshank https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522413152 2021-05-13 19:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522413152 Vocabulary and background information are KEY for comprehension. No comprehension strategy will help if a kid simply can't read. Our curriculum prioritized comprehension strategies that can't stick without these other pillars. I personally will be prioritizing these components going forward. lcruickshank https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522425449 2021-05-13 19:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522425449 chmarshall https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522483210 The extended time to work in PLCs and plan lessons has been so valuable. ]]> 2021-05-13 19:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522483210 We didn't do a lot of group work (other than breakout rooms). chmarshall https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522489689 2021-05-13 19:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1522489689 I hope Fridays stay!

They enjoyed being in a breakout room; I think it gave them a sense of community. chmarshall https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524176071 2021-05-14 11:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524176071 Everything we did was digital. chmarshall https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524222753 2021-05-14 11:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524222753 Co-teaching looked very different- no stations, no parallel teaching. My coteacher couldn't even stand up from with me because of space and distancing. https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524878925 2021-05-14 14:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524878925 More 1:1 written feedback (not as easy to give quick in person feedback) https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524884027 2021-05-14 14:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524884027 Breakout rooms made it easy for kids to share a doc and all look at the same screen https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524886637 2021-05-14 14:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524886637 The extra time on Fridays to plan and prepare gave us the gift of time to get SO much done. We reserved Fridays as Free Read/Free Write, time to browse the library, as well as extra time to get caught up, and I think the kids really appreciated that change of pace. https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524889625 2021-05-14 14:54:43 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1524889625 Less daily group work https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1525018662 2021-05-14 15:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1525018662 No paper notebooks--all digital. It was too hard during hybrid to get kids to be able to share their work in breakout rooms if they had paper notebooks https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1525019083 2021-05-14 15:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/darienps/s8as77paapmoykqf/wish/1525019083
