We a book called Chrysanthemum and discussed how we felt about our names. The kids were very open after I explained how many people mispronounce my name. ]]> 2017-10-11 00:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vanessa_garza2/vfqqapna6h1/wish/195844957 Sarah Ostorga sarahirisybarra https://padlet.com/vanessa_garza2/vfqqapna6h1/wish/195844980 I've used a padlet in class to ask for students to share anonymously how they feel about STAAR exams. Many of the students are ELLs so they normally mention some of the words they have trouble with and we go over them as a class. ]]> 2017-10-11 00:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/vanessa_garza2/vfqqapna6h1/wish/195844980 https://padlet.com/vanessa_garza2/vfqqapna6h1/wish/195845025 When researching family histories, students would interview parents/ relatives at home. We then shared findings in circle time implementing Gracious Space, which seems pretty similar.

During this time, students, along with the teacher talked about the question of the morning. There were days when things got personal, but students shared because they wanted to talk and be listened to.
