Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Snow Day #3 and 5 Step Lesson Plans. I can hardly believe that we are on Snow Day #3 here in Louisiana! I've enjoyed a lazy day of baby snuggles, a recovery day getting over a stomach bug mixed with cold and congestion, and now a day of house cleaning and catching-up on my school work. Which brings me to my first post since November. I've gotten really (REALLY) behind. But on with the WBT program! What's the best way to include critical thinking with EVERY lesson you teach?

Mrs. Kelley's Class - Teach, Laugh, Love: April 2015
http://teachlaughlove3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 26, 2015. Revamped Universal Homework Model (Star Homework). After a LOT of consideration this year I ended up completely deleting ALL homework assignments (cue the gasping and eye rolling). The kids in my school/district/state are in a total state of turmoil because of the Common Core vs. Anti-Common Core political game that is being played right in front of them. One of the biggest concerns is the amount of homework given. Aha moment of the century. How have I NEVER thought of this before?

http://cruzinthroughwbt.blogspot.com/2013/05/pdf-in-review-wbt-contrasting.html
Thursday, May 30, 2013. PDF In Review: WBT Contrasting. The handy dandy PDFs Coach B. created to teach our classrooms while we sip on a foamy latte, are PERFECT for end of year lesson fillers. To my surprise, it got the best response of any other PDF we have done thus far! When I say even the most loafing students were out of their chairs begging to share the examples they created with their partners, I mean it! The lesson culminated with this final writing assignment:. I read a chapter aloud a day and g...
