We had an extra easel for a few days so the first graders wrote their own morning message and then worked together to edit it for capitals and lowercase letters. #transfer #independence ♥️

Adapted some grammar lessons by using the lesson structures in Patterns of Power. These 6th graders studied commas in a series, then applied their new understanding with a partner before editing their own essays.

Working (and supporting) book clubs in first grade. These kiddos had some time to read and jot their thoughts before launching into the discussion. #betterbookclubs

Our current curriculum unit is focused on the US Government and being a “good” and “responsible” citizen. How are we complicating this idea for our students? How are we helping kids grapple with the idea that sometimes laws and rules are unjust and it is heroic to break them?

If students aren’t “responding” to a scripted curriculum because they need more time, structure, or repetition, what those students need is not another program. They need a responsive, knowledgeable teacher.

Tools for Resistance: Define any curriculum as a living document that MUST be revised. It’s only our best guess at the beginning of the year. -Douglas Kaufman #NCTE
