We are working hard on task cards around the room already at Jones! Fiction vs nonfiction! @WallerISD @KinneyAsh @brigittevail

Starting a new school year @WallerISD ! Can't wait to meet the students!

Generating stage direction and then revealing the stage direction from the author was such fun! @TISD_ELAR @TISDWES @TomballISD

Students are LOVING this project! They have to convince me what pet is best (persuasive writing) using one claim and 3 reasons ! Some students even made the slides customized to what I like to really sell me on their claim! Engagement is incredible @TISD_ELAR @TISDWES @TomballISD

Finding claims can be easy if you have a strategy, like "Claim= topic + is/are + author's feeling."

Gallery walk to find key ideas! @TISD_ELAR @TomballISD @TISDWES

Trying an activity from PD this week! This activity forces students to slow down and analyze! They were inquirers today trying to figure out what makes powerful essay writing! @TISDWES @TISD_ELAR @TomballISD

Sentence surgery is happening @TISDWES @TISD_ELAR @TomballISD !

I love that the students named these strategies yesterday, so now we can apply them to summary questions today! @TomballISD @TISDWES @TISD_ELAR

I got to read my newly published book to my kiddos today!! @TISD_ELAR @TomballISD
