Down to the last running record of the year. Planning just a few a day helped eliminate the last minute crunch I’ve had before. #tregrit Tustin Unified Kathi Denny

Book Clubs are an important component to our Balanced Literacy Program. Here the students “survey” the book together before reading anything by making predictions , writing questions, and listing what they notice.#tregrit Tustin Unified Kathi Denny

The fifth grade iPads were returned today. Those precious devices that made learning so fun may be gone, but the student’s curiosity and appetite for learning is still thriving in.....books! Book clubs actually serve a need in social emotional learning.#TREgrit Tustin Unified

Putting our best foot forward! #TREgrit Kathi Denny

Who says spiral math reviews have to be done on Haiku? Paper and pencil work fine for these fifth graders. Scoring is done together on the SMARTboard. #tregrit Tustin Unified Kathi Denny

5th Grade plans with our writers workshop materials. Lucy Calkins provides the inspiration for so many units of study in Tustin. Ending strong means planning to start strong too. #tregrit Tustin Unified Kathi Denny

Want your students to keep reading up until the end? Then they need to have a comfortable place to do it. The more we keep the rooms environments together until the very end, the more the end of the year seems normal or regular. #tregrit Tustin Unified Kathi Denny

Putting 404 back together after a five month hiatus as a room of knowledge. On Thursday this becomes the new home of 404 studios, as I broadcast daily to my students. TRECoolCoyotes

First day from my new broadcast booth. We worked through the agenda, sent out the code many many times, and ended with a huge smile. #treohana Kathi Denny @ Tustin Ranch Elementary instagram.com/p/CD18XunAsUZ/…
