Teach Support

Every time there’s snow in the forecast, teachers become meteorologists! Making predictions, weather watching, reporting changes to each other, etc etc etc.

Welp, the weather keeps changing over here! Still holding out hope for some snow days next week! ⠀
❄️⠀
My first year living in Portland, there was a HUGE snow storm that brought 10 snow days in a row! It was beautiful and magical and amazing! ⠀
❄️⠀
Well...until we had to make up a week of days in June. It felt worth it at the time though! ⠀

I’ll be snow dancing, finger crossing, and weather watching all weekend.

2020 Vision Boards were our focus in writing this week!
✨
I decided to make a vision board for the first time this year and loved it! I had so much fun with it that I wanted to try it with my students! ⠀
✨⠀
And guess what... they LOVED it! ⠀
✨⠀
We spent 4 days creating our boards: ⠀
Day 1: whole class vision and discussion of what a vision is ⠀
Day 2: Brainstormed lists in our writer’s notebooks — goals/wishes, things they want to try, to learn, and to teach this year
Day 3: Looked at example vision boards for inspiration and started making our own⠀
Day 4: Finish vision boards and share! ⠀
✨⠀
Such an awesome first week back activity! I was inspired by and ran with the inspiration! ⠀
✨⠀
What first week back activities did you do this week?!
