I had a blog-worthy day today. I wish that I could share with you about the parent who said our PRIDE program should be called the SHAME program, but I can’t.
But I can share this…
I number the agenda items on the whiteboard each day so the students know what to expect. Here’s today’s agenda:
“Step 4, we will create our topic sentences and on step….4 (mutter under my breath ‘didn’t notice that first hour)…we’ll work with transitions while doing the Fairy Tale Transitions because it’s magical. After Booktime we’ll use those transitions during our PIE paragraphs….to make them magical….(want to smack head).”
I felt like Ralph Wiggum. Or Mr. Furious. Or a furious Ralph Wiggum who spits bees out of his mouth.
(PIE stands for ‘Point – Illustration – Explanation’. Students remember it. Thank you, Bausch-san for passing on great tools. Even though you dressed in tights and butcher paper to pretend to be Louis XIV for Ms. Lewis.)
(I never knew Flaming Carrot was a part of the Mystery Men. INTERESTING…)
