Reflection-Day 9
So good to be back, but feeling a bit lost as well. Everything is so slow. I don't know what I was thinking. Somehow I really believed that it would be able to use my right hand to at least type, but part of my hand is numb and the cast keeps hitting the keys. I can do this!
The demos today were great! With each demo, I came away with great ideas that can be used in my classroom. Mini-lessons in reading and writing are the best! I use them all the time in my reading workshop, but truly loved the lessons presented today. It would be great to teach the students the activity about summaries and tag lines to create a resouce board of book titles for readers to go to when looking for their next independent reading book.
Our focus this past year has been the creation of the PLC for science. Throughout the process, we have been focused on the creation of formative assessments. Having been part of the process throughout the year, it was great to see the value of formative assessments presented in another way. I am so sad to have missed the others, but am grateful to have been a part of them today.
Hi Shawn,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you back in the mix. I know it's a bummer that you missed some of the sessions, but things happen. I forgot to give you the materials from the last couple of days, so remind me to do that.
I'm so excited to have another PAWLP fellow in our district. There are very few! Keep going at your pace and take care of yourself first. We'll work with you in whatever way we can!
