PTP Points to Ponder
Week of September 19 "Oh The Places You'll Go!"
Guided Reading
As you can probably already tell from our conversations, I firmly believe from reading research and studying data over the last 8 years that guided reading impacts our student's reading progress significantly. Our student's success depends on the time that they have at the guided reading table. In order to reach our goal for all Primary students to leave our building reading on grade level, we must commit to keeping guided reading a sacred time in our day. Following are links to research, articles and videos that will assist us in collaborating on guided reading best practices (I will also include in our Google Classroom). Please read and be ready to discuss during common planning on Wednesday September 28th. As a professional learning community, we are committed to being life-long learners so I thank you for taking time to learn together!
Guided Reading Video (notice she discusses reading strategies with them: use pictures (Eagle Eye), stretch out word (Stretchy Snake), and get lips ready (Lips to Fish)
Behavior
Having some behaviors you want to change?
Here is a website with lots of strategies to use. www.pbisworld.com
Remember that you should have 3 positive interactions with a student to every 1 negative interaction. Here is video explaining why this concept is so important.
If you have any great ideas on classroom incentives for positive student behavior, please add it to our CHAMPS shared folder.
