Oops!

So....
It's been almost a month since the last induction meeting, and I completely spaced on a blog! If I recall correctly, we did an activity on rich and robust vocabulary instruction. While I find this strategy effective and engaging, it is also time consuming--time I undoubtedly will always be scrounging to find! Additionally, I received training on this exact method less than one year ago, and while I always appreciate the efforts of the PD team, it is somewhat frustrating to have to sit through a repetitive lesson after a 9 hour work day beginning with Cluster!

I did, however, thoroughly enjoy the technology library resource tips, and was successfully able to guide my 8th graders through them while conducting research on American Revolution battles. Who knew the middle school library websites were such a wealth of information!?
