Today was one of the reassuring days of virtual teaching. 🥰 While reading the mentor text from a unit from the UOS, SS created mental movies from the chapter I read aloud. SS had never done this before and can’t wait to use it in their own reading lives!!

@JessWarner14 It was seriously the highlight of my day! Take it easy this evening!

When you log into a Zoom planning session with one of your teachers and see this....Made my day! @MissWilson5th

@kayla_reiff You are amazing!

I’m trying to use this quarantine time to learn who I am as a teacher and as a learner...sometimes your mind is your own enemy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@missbockrocks You are pretty amazing yourself! I noticed how happy those kiddos were yesterday! Keep doing great things!

I have missed reading daily to my Ss, so this week I have been reading from "The Thief of Always" and the number of Ss joining me each day continues to grow! Many went to find a notebook at home to call their new readers' notebook. <3 #cohort2classroom #BCSconnectED

Even though my Ss have been away from the classroom, their reading lives continue to be transferring the skills I have taught throughout the year into their lives at home as they read independently the books of their choice! Can't wait for Monday's reading session!

Today, @MissWilson5th and I were able to do our Potomack Literacy PD. We came together as a whole group to discuss the importance of readers notebooks. We then separated into groups. 3rd grade focused on poetry and RUOS distance learning ideas. #cohort2classroom #PotomackAIR

After a tough UNC loss to Duke, I am prepared for March Madness with my Basketball Themed Word Wall....only needs a slogan?!?! Share ideas below!

My vocabulary word wall may not be completely finished however, today while reading a social studies article my students came across the word "supported" and had remembered that the word could be replaced with a the vocab word "advocated"! #cohort2classroom

Received this beautiful shipment of FREE Scholastic Books for the next UoS (which is in planning)!!! This shipment brought a lot of excitement to me, so I can only imagine how excited my Ss will be as they get to end their year with the best Unit of all! #cohort2classroom

@MrsMongada @ParksideES Chelseawilson430@gmail.com Thank you!!!

@MissWilson5th @ParksideES Yes! I have it on google drive- do you have a google account I could share to?

Amazing work in 5th grade today designing fences for farm animals, then finding perimeters with mixed numbers! #PennDelcoProud #mathiseverywhere @ParksideES

Having attended a megalab site today assured me of all the wonderful resouces I have to provide specific goals to my Ss. Already preparing for Assessment Conferences tomorrow! Thank you @CaitlynClay8 @JessicaWood915 @ashbelcher2 for the use of your classroom! #cohort2classroom

Ss have been searching for claims and evidence to support those claims in our latest UoS. I would have to say our first flash debate was a success as many Ss considered an overview. #cohort2classroom

These students transferred all their notes and strategies learned from our Nonfiction Unit inorder to complete their inquiry project on Westward Expansion. They accompanied their project with a 5 paragraph essay using the BCS Literacy Model. #cohort2classroom

@SarahLewis903 @JMichaelBowman5 @BerkCoSchoolsWV @CaitlynClay8 @DeannaKendig @JessicaWood915 @ashbelcher2 @rachransom I am so excited!!!

@JMichaelBowman5 @BerkCoSchoolsWV @CaitlynClay8 @DeannaKendig @JessicaWood915 @ashbelcher2 .@rachransom these are coming your way soon!

Questions + Research = Answers that lead to discussions and flash drafts of our learning in just one day! The 1800s are coming to life with so much excitement to uncover the history from the past! Onward we must go, for the best is yet to come. #cohort2classroom

This week we have focused on determining the difference between a topic, main idea, and providing text evidence with supporting details. These students are ready to complete their first inquiry project in our non-fiction unit of study! #cohort2classroom
