This is a brief article about Shared Writing, shared by Mrs. Hilt, found on twitter - definitely thinking about how I can implement shared writing in my classroom.
I used this video along with the Reading Group book, A Lion and a Roar (focus on main idea and detail). After reading the book, and discussing the details, the students were very interesting in seeing an actual lion dance.
Short stories for children. I plan to use these short stories at centers in the classroom. Students will read the story, respond in a peer journal, and discuss responses.
