Team teaching allowed one educator to read or solicit students'
responses while the other recorded information. This helped speed
up portions of the lesson during which students are less active
and was an effective use of two adults.
After the lessons
were completed, Nancy and Kelley coassessed the students' poems.
They exchanged a series of emails and have given permission to
share them:
Nancy to Kelley:
Please remember to save some of the student work, preferably those
who would be easy to get the parent's permission for use signature
(I gave you that form) & sign your educator's form. Then I
will send all this to Dr. Judi. She will be so pleased. THANK
YOU for being willing to do this with me!!
Kelley to Nancy:
I am saving the work and now have to find the permission slip.
Some of them are just going to turn them as is because they are
just done. We can go over them together if you would like with
the rubric. Whew! What a project!
Nancy to Kelley:
So - I guess the question is - was it a project worth repeating
next year??
Kelly to Nancy:
Yes, it will be very worth repeating next year and especially
using it during the 5 senses PYP planner. We could go really far
with it and I could do much more ocean theming up to that point.
Nancy to Judi:
Success!
Here's a side tidbit -
I went into the speech therapist's office, and she had been working
with a student from Kelley's class & saw what we were doing.
So she continued with the theme during speech class!
Yahoo! It's catching!
