This is a space that provides a "safe" environment for a student that may be having a bad day and may be misbehaving. This allows for the student to recognize their misbehavior and have time to "cool off". ]]> 2019-09-11 19:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/sondrol44/vkwre1nv3w7z/wish/382955867 sondrol44 https://padlet.com/sondrol44/vkwre1nv3w7z/wish/382957583 Interesting ways to grab your students attention at the beginning of a lesson. ]]> 2019-09-11 19:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sondrol44/vkwre1nv3w7z/wish/382957583 sondrol44 https://padlet.com/sondrol44/vkwre1nv3w7z/wish/382958292 Providing student choice of class assignments and projects is a great way for students to be responsible for their own learning.

When giving students feedback, tie the comments back to what the students were specifically doing well.

Then given them a different version with different punctuation inserted within. This will teach your students to be mindful to punctuation when reading. This activity emphasizes that a student's memory supports their reading and aims at improving a student's reading fluency.
