Today was a good one as we focused on routines and procedures in E-8!
Routines and procedures we discussed as a class today:
- Entering the classroom in the morning
- Coming to the Carpet
- Coming to a desk
- Active listening
- Getting in line
- Attention getting signals
- How to act as an audience
- How to Turn & Talk (for collaboration)
We also discussed expectations on the playground and in the cafeteria!
Before lunch, we discussed the Me Bags for homework, and I modeled for the class what should go in the bag! During this time, we also focused on the Jot Dot strategy, which can be utilized for note-taking or for presentations! Essentially, each jot dot is on a specific topic, and has a maximum of five words/phrases which helps trigger or bring up information from one's noggin!

| I modeled for students how I used a jot dot to help me remember what to say when presenting my passion for sneakers. These words might might look random, but they help ME! Students utilized the turn & talk procedure to assist me in finding 5 keywords/phrases that will help me remember what I need to say when presenting my Pokemon card! |
We've also been listening to parts of Boy: Tales of Childhood, by Roald Dahl; ask them about the Great Mouse Plot that happened in the autobiography!
I think that about does it! Cheers, and have a good one y'all!
