Mrs. Neumann makes reviewing STAAR-like questions over our read aloud ENGAGING! She used the lead4ward rock, papers, scissors strategy & tweaked it! What a rockstar pulling out great moves involving student discourse 🥳 Smith Sabercats

Mrs. Smith-Williams & Ms. Le got students up & moving with an informational gallery walk last week! 🖼️ Students had to look at a variety of informational texts and figure out what subgenre they fall in. Then, students justified their answers. 😎 Smith Sabercats

Mrs. Le & Mr. Peters are a 🌟DYNAMIC🌟 duo! Students used sentence strips with their groups to decide which one was to the extraneous detail. Great way to get our students talking about revision before tackling STAAR questions over the skill! Smith Sabercats

Ms. Ayala worked with a small-group this past week to tackle controlling idea & supporting details in her 6th grade basic class. How awesome is it to have students create their own mini anchor chart! Also, ❤️ the POP focus phrases being up on the board! Smith Sabercats

Mrs. Pruitt, Mrs. Neumann, & Ms. Martin had small-group lessons and strategy groups ready to go based on their data from a recent fiction test! I love that 6th grade ELAR is so intentional with their SG planning 😎 Smith Sabercats

Our Smith Sabercats 6th grade ELAR team is constantly thinking about how to engage students! To end our argumentative unit, these lawyers are going to trial to either defend or prosecute SpongeBob for a crime! Thank you Mrs. Pruitt for letting me sit in your courtroom! 👩‍⚖️

I wish I got pictures of Ms. Le in action! Her students recognize her as one of the kindest teachers with a ❤️ for ALL students. 7th graders read the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” to pair with “The Outsiders.” Read how she made it so relatable for students! Smith Sabercats

This 8th grade team is a dynamic duo! We’re trying something new by tackling the POETTS strategy while reading “The Raven” and answering open ended STAAR questions this unit. I’m not surprised that these two teachers were nominated for TOTY together at Smith Sabercats 🎉🥳

Trash or treasure! This is a flow chart that could help 6th graders break down how internal/external conflicts ➡️ how characters respond ➡️ outcome/consequences ➡️ theme! Smith Sabercats docs.google.com/presentation/d…
