Optimistic October - Day 1: Write down three things you can look forward to this month #OptimisticOctober afh.link/action/2024-oc…

“Fireworks and Feedback: ask students to celebrate and share their fireworks—learning that sparked joy or a moment where a concept really clicked—and feedback, input from peers or teachers that helped them take a step forward.” 🎆 🗣️🎆🗣️

“There’s a lot going on here: a spiraling curriculum that revisits and builds upon themes year after year; an explicit teaching of underlying patterns; new vocabulary words, and a progression from the simple to the complex.” kqed.org/mindshift/6331…

They had me at glimmer journal ✨ “One way to be more present is the 5-4-3-2-1 method, in which you notice five things you can see, four things you can feel, three things you can hear, two things you can smell and one thing you can taste.” kqed.org/mindshift/6430…

When they have figured out a hard question, ask: How did we figure that out? What do we attribute our success to? Discuss the repeatable strategies they used, like using prior knowledge, reasoning, drawing a picture, discussing with a neighbor” edutopia.org/article/strate…
