Come learn with us this summer! We can take POs - just send us an email. Register here!
With the end of the school year in sight (even if it feels wayyyy off on the horizon), we’re turning our attention to wrapping up the year and planning for summer learning.
We recently received two questions from teachers and we thought we’d try to crowd source some answers like it’s Twitter circa 2014. #RIPedutwitter
A kindergarten teachers asks:
Any meaningful end-of-year ideas that don’t require a lot of prep?
What are your favorite ways to reflect on and wrap up a year?
A first grade teacher asks:
Do you know of anyone who is writing about the academic blocks in a smart way these days, particularly math?
They add:
I am at the point where I am willing to reconsider everything, from whole to small groups, explicit instruction (which needs to be doubly explicit and detailed these days), etc. I have some time this summer to read and would like to try a few things.
Thoughts? Any people to follow online? Are you trying something new and impactful you’d like to share? Have you read a really helpful profession text or article?
The Bell Ringer substack has really interesting information on new research regarding academics.
Not sure if these count as low prep but I’ve liked making a slideshow of photos and showing it to the class. We’ve also made lemonade popsicles and then had them outside. Some kids have done a “cheers” with their popsicles.
