These are great ways of concluding a lesson as a quick formative assessment! Teachers must gather student feedback to judge their understanding before moving forward. Many of these can be used at any grade level! These are great tips for closing the class on a fun note!

This article captures the most current approach to teaching English Language Arts -snippets, excepts, and quantity over quality. The curriculum my district uses is the perfect example.

Had they merely read the summary, my students would have seen many of the same words, but they’d have lacked the feeling part.

A few pics from my recently finished internship. Follow to see updates on my teaching journey
This is where I began my internship. Soon after, I took over Mr. Mercers desk. A cake from the staff at St. James Regional High School. Had all of my students in one room. So many face in one room put into perspective the great impact teachers make. Every staff and student helped make my experience a positive one. I painted with staff members during a wellness day. They turned out great! ☁️ Building character maps. The students explored the textbook to find clues on how to make a visual representation of 14 relevant characters from the play.
