Dogs in Class

This is How Students Put the Dogs Away!

Everyone knows that dogs make everything better.  My twenty-year-old son still comes in every night to give our golden retriever a kiss goodnight.  As much as I would love to bring my dog to school each day, I can't. However, I did the next best thing--Beanie Babies!  Lucky for me, I connected with a woman looking to give away her collection of dog beanies. She finally realized that they were not going to be worth a million dollars like so many people back in the 90s had hoped! She wanted to give them to someone who would appreciate them, and that person was ME!

 Anyhow, I brought them into class, and just as I expected, the kids went nuts.  They now try to arrive early to class to get a dog to keep at their desk and keep them company!  One boy even asked if he could get one for his friend who was running late.  They put them on their computers, on their arms, on their heads, and even in their pockets.  They all have their favorite dog.  I can truly say that these little dogs have already brought many smiles to my students' faces.  And of course, that makes ME happy!

 P.S. This weekend I purchased a dog bed at Marshalls for our pups!  Can't wait to show my students.

TQE: Get students Engaged and Digging Deep

I've mentioned before how Twitter has helped me grow as an educator.  Edutwitter is a valuable resource for book recommendations, new teaching methods, lessons, and articles.  One of my favorite educators to follow is Marissa Thompson, a high school teacher at Carlsbad High. This summer I read about her TQE(thoughts, questions, epiphanies) method for discussing literature.  I'd always longed for having discussions like the ones I had in my college literature courses, but when I try fishbowl or Socratic seminar with my students, the discussions felt forced, flat, and awkward. That changed today when I tried TQE for the first time.  Sharing homework in small groups Students writing their TQEs on the board When I listened to Marissa's podcast on Cult of Pedagogy ( check it out here ), I was intimidated. After all, her students are in high school and have a rock star teacher.  I think I read the transcript twenty times before finally trying it.  Here's h

Writing an Essay...with a Partner

I love technology for collaboration! Teaching writing to middle school students is not easy.  All students come with different skills and knowledge.  With 35 students in a class, it's impossible to sit down one on one and assist students with the writing process.  Teaching students to write a literary analysis is particularly challenging because most seventh-graders have little, to no experience.  Students need to learn to  develop a thesis statement, find evidence from the text to support it, provide the context of the selected quotations , and write insightful commentary on the evidence they selected. Remember, these kiddos are twelve! Graphic organizers are particularly helpful to these young writers. The biggest challenge is providing feedback to students as they are writing, rather than after they turn their work in for a grade.  Students need to be able to use the feedback they receive and see the difference it makes in the final product.  I was adamant that I was not go

Hexagonal Thinking

The last few weeks can be challenging. Keeping students engaged and learning is my mission! When I stumbled upon a post about hexagonal thinking, I knew I had to try it with my students. I am SO glad I did. Although this activity can be done digitally or on paper, I insisted that my students in class do it old school. My goal was for my students to have thoughtful discussions about what we read this year. Here's how it works! First, I came up with a list of key characters and ideas from The Giver, Animal Farm, and The Children's Story. I found this awesome generator on line where I could just type in my words, and it put them in the hexagons for me. Then I printed out the pages (there were three) for each group. I did a copious amount of research before embarking on this activity, and I was shocked by the number of teachers who cut the hexagons out for their students. That would have taken me HOURS. I simply gave each group scissors, and they were done in five minute
