Happy Friday!! I am starting to get into the groove of the school year and there is FINALLY a crisp in the air. That has made my walk between buildings that much more pleasant. In 8th grade, we have started to talk about Paquita and we will go see the ballet next Tuesday. I cannot wait!! We have also started talking about gypsy culture in general, and I have some great resources to share soon.
Did you get a chance to read my blog over on CI Peek? I explained how I have used Google Tours with Fluency Matters books!
Check out some of these resources over the weekend, so you are ready for Monday morning!
- Have you listened to Rebecca’s podcast episode on Cult of Pedagogy?! Also, make sure to read her follow up post on Rebecca’s blog.
- Kara wrote some great ideas for a sub day. Although she used it with Go, these activities could be adapted for any topic.
- Cecile’s post with five reminders is amazing and what every teacher needs to read.
- Julia shared her ideas on how to incorporate culture into a novice classroom. Her reflection is very valuable.
Past posts:
- How to focus on adjustment
- Mad libs (I have started bringing those back last year!)
- Authentic resources for a city unit
