After we learn a new sound it becomes the “secret password” for entering the classroom, allowing for several extra daily repetitions. The kids ❤️ it - and don’t worry about the ones who forget; if they don’t copy the child in front of them I supply the sound for them to repeat.

All pupil response cards were a big hit today! Students self assessed where they were at on the progression of learning! Thanks Tyler Stanton for creating them! Theresa Williamson tamsyn wilson Rachel Roth

BESTer students made our first attempt at applying our Success Criteria to self/peer assess and edit responses from yesterday. We used the symbols to mark where in their responses you could find evidence of each criteria! tamsyn wilson Theresa Williamson Mary Ann Nussear Ms. Amie Hersh
