As our student body is one-to-one, we utilize multiple collaborative technologies. Students use the Smart Board to interact directly with writing and grammar instruction. I am able to model my own thinking, as well as revise and edit writing with student assistance. Students use their Chromebooks daily to create and communicate, gaining feedback from peers and myself. Students communicate, collaborate, and create through Google Classroom across all content areas.
In my classroom, students are able to access a wide range of books from my personal library. The books span a variety of genres and readability levels. All students can find something that they may enjoy! I have daily conversations with my students about what we love reading. Students and I recommend books back and forth and have cultivated a love of independent reading that exceeds our curriculum.
