Teachers, this is a new era (pandemic) and we need to approach educating our students differently. With that thought in mind, how about setting up a SNACK CENTER in your classroom!

Urge students to take what they need and to come back during the day if they are hungry.

Let us concentrate on meeting our students’ nonacademic requirements. We never know what a child is facing outside school.

You can always start small.

·  Recognize and work with people’s strengths.

· Capitalize on the talents and strengths of your team members. 

·  Find ways to delegate tasks to team members. Identify tasks that you can pass along to others to manage. Provide clear expectations but allow room for creativity and individual expression. 

·  Generate leadership positions that people can step into. 

·  Ask employees to facilitate discussions at staff meetings. 

·  Involve teachers in your family engagement efforts. Have a teacher representative present at family committee meetings.

·  Establish subcommittees to plan projects, professional development days, and other events. 

·  Encourage employees by asking for solutions rather than fixing the situations. 

·  Share leadership opportunities in your community.

Anxiety

 Our children are under tremendous stress. Watch for any signs and get help immediately. Their mental help matters.

 

 

 

 Test Prep

Try using Kahoot for test prep. You can do a Kahoot review. You can adapt the games to play in teams, ghost mode, or even homeroom against homeroom. It’s easy to keep it creative and novel for students. I guarantee the engagement will go through the roof!

 

Close Reading as a Pre-Reading Activity

Close reading can be used as a pre-reading activity.

1.   If you’re about to begin a unit on figurative language, give students a basic definition of the types of figurative language. Have them read a short passage, looking closely for examples of figurative language.

2.  Before students begin a new unit in science, give them a short passage with some key scientific terms, ensuring that the text is not bolded. Have students try to activate prior knowledge about the subject by reading through the passage and highlighting words they think are most important to the topic.

3.    Before you begin a novel or even a picture book about a specific person or concept, have students do a close reading of a summary of the book or the passage on the back of the book to identify main characters and plot.

 

Strategy Scrutinize A Summary

Prior to introducing a new topic in a content area, provide students with a short multi-paragraph summary about it. Give students a purpose for their reading, whether it is to identify key characters, the main idea and supporting details, or potential keywords. Provide them with a graphic organizer that will encompass their pre-reading and provide space for notes during reading. As they read, have students refer back to their initial close reading notes to see if predictions were correct or how terms were used, etc.                                                                                         (Rocking Resources)
