This week I had the opportunity to meet with the members of my fantastic TC "Lead Teacher" group for our final meeting of this school year...
We engaged in a lengthy discussion about "close reading" of text and how important it is that we (K-2 Teachers) add it to our repertoire of teaching strategies.
We also worked on lessons that revolved around having students "write like scientists."
We shared some of our own teaching strategies and lessons as well. I shared the strategy STOP THINK REACT. Below are some of the organizers and charts that I used while teaching science in my classroom. Enjoy!
PEACE,
Strategies and organizers for Inquiry...
Below is the sheet of labels that I used to reinforce the strategy during small group work... for those students who needed the visual reinforcement. I created the labels on POST-IT labels.
PEACE,
