Try an audiobook! 🎧

Today’s reading goal: How does the character change throughout the book

We modeled, practiced, read. Students still needed some additional practice and to be honest… a little motivation to work {teaching in May!}

Enter: The audiobook 👏🏼

First graders listened to an audiobook while creating a doodle timeline to show how the characters changed during the story. Students were engaged AND motivated!

We will take this as a big spring win today! How do you use audiobooks in your class? We want some more ideas!

Happy Teacher Appreciation from Dory and Katoana.
This is hard.
Days are long and can be somewhat soul sucking.
Find the small moments and if you can’t just remember these faces got you.

✨WARM FUZZIES! ✨
A warm fuzzy is a feeling you get when you do something kind. Calm your body. Help a teammate. Or maybe just read quietly!
A cold prickly is the opposite! It causes harm and isn’t productive or helpful.
See a student say something kind? They get a sparkly pom pom, or as we call it, a WARM FUZZY!
See a student calm their body after a big challenge? You got it, toss them a warm fuzzy!
