Learning about story structure can be fun!! Problem, solution, response. Students answer the question: “How do I write a response to a problem in a story?”

Have a student you're struggling with?
Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:
For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the #student about anything the student is interested in.
Wonderful idea by Raymond Wlodkowski

That kid you see every morning in the hall who you say ‘good morning’ to but yet never looks up or responds.
Keep trying... you may never get a response, but they know you notice them & that reassurance at the start of their day can be huge.

Each student deserves a teacher who will allow them to start anew & fresh each & every day. A clean slate is something we all deserve.

A child’s effort will rarely exceed that of his/her teacher. Think about that the next time you’re tempted to give less than your best. #BoldSchool #KidsDeserveIt #edchat #satchat #leadered #CultureEd

If students don't have access to books & time to read at school daily, if teachers don't read aloud every day, they won't become readers. Completing skill sheets to collect data isn't reading! Build classroom & school libraries! @ERobbPrincipal @DrMaryHoward @SteeleThoughts

Average Teachers change their Expectations when underserved Students aren't progressing. Great Teachers change their INSTRUCTION! #edchat
