Strategies from Book Pusher Academy and Barbara Brinker that can be used in your classroom
Students put highlighter tape on words they do not know
Use of plot map to plot story
This is what staying after for Book Pusher Academy feels like. Fun, exciting; Getting a frosty from Wendys helps
Action Items
-Anchor charts posted in your room; at least 3 that reflect current units of study; colorful and attractive
-Grade level teams should be planning and finalizing plans for Student Led Conferences on March 9 (345-615)
-Assign a student helper who will point Brigitt or myself to the functional text basket in the classroom (all classrooms should have a functional text area- as of last week) (labeling it is helpful also)
