SCEC Elementary Curriculum Updates
January, 2021 Mrs. C. Gutierrez
From the Desk of Christina Gutierrez
May I encourage you to use this New Year as an opportunity to develop a new mindset. A mindset that allows yourself to see the positives daily. You can only control you. So why not invest in you! By clearing your mind of negativity and making your mental health a priority, you will set yourself up for new growth and learning in the new year. Blessings and prosperity to you and yours!
INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES
Read Alouds/Think Alouds-What is the purpose and how do I know if I am doing them effectively?
While reading aloud you should ask yourself;
- Who is doing the thinking?
- Am I stopping strategically throughout the story to hear student thinking and/or promoting discourse (i.e turn and talks)?
- What strategy have I modeled that supports comprehension?
- How am I promoting vocabulary development?
If you are wanting to learn more. Below is a quick informative video to support your expertise.
