Today I visited @Isajac001 classroom where poetry came to life with "Love That Dog"! Her animated reading and use of a “Sky”the stuffed animal, had the kids captivated. It's incredible to see such engagement and passion for poetry! @LakotaUnion #ELEducation #WEareLakota

Deficit-based thinking results in low levels of learning every time.
We need to ask, How do I design this lesson differently so that all kids can work towards standards?
I loved going into @LindsayRazete and Mrs. Sheridan’s 5th gr. classrooms during morning mtg. What a great way to increase a sense of community and foster active and engaged participation! @LakotaUnion #morningmeeting #wellnesswednesday

I love that these exit tickets could work for any lesson or content being taught! @LakotaUnion
What's better than an exit ticket? Two exit tickets, of course!
Check out this double-decker "this" or "that" formative assessment option, shared by educators @DrGinnyD, @iccosper and @heyyojo4, created by educator Sarah Mayre.
ALT "This or That Exit Ticket: Pick one of the exit tickets below. Share your thinking about the lesson with your teacher using that template...feeling inspired? Use both!" The options are to write a 10-word summary or a multiple choice question.

From @meetmrsmonty on Instagram:
I feel it’s so important to talk about WHY we expect certain behaviors at school. I made the anchor chart and then we came together and brainstormed examples of when we are expected to be quiet vs talk. Huge shoutout to @room213tpt for the inspo.
ALT Why do we need quiet? To concentrate and complete work To hear what others have to say So all students can learn When do we need to talk? While exploring ideas When working as a group When sharing, reflecting, or giving feedback Respect quiet time and contribute to talking time!

Great point! We get so determined to make students go down a certain path, but let’s let them lead!
Ya'll @ctfosnot is brilliant.
The way so many are handling "learning loss" and "acceleration" is just so well intentioned and misguided. And so based on fake math, not real math.
Let them math!

ALT "Would you ever stop a young child who is learning to walk, make them practice the pre-requisite walking skills to mastery before you ever let them try to walk? No. And we shouldn't with mathematics students either. Let them mathematize!" paraphrased from Cathy Fosnot in the 2023 MMM Summit
