Welcome!! Have a seat.
Thank You!
Reading is hard for me
I've brought you all together tonight to think about our new literacy curriculum
Cool!
I am overwhelmed! I hope we can brainstorm some ways to make my job easier.
I love reading!
We have a specific plan to implement the program throughout the school year.
Last year my students had a hard time working independently.
I don't want Sara to be on the computer a lot at school. Her teacher last year made the kids do a lot of computer assignments.
I had the same issue in my class. Students coming back into the classroom had a hard time adjusting
I like picking!!!!
I like the idea of choices and also balancing online work and paper/pencil.
What if we give students a few choices during independent work time?
What does the research say?
Just tell me what you want me to do! I don't have the time or energy to learn anything new
I know giving kids choices often increases engagement.
I would be okay with Sara being on the computer as a choice.
