Hexagonal Ice Breaker

I am introducing hexagonal thinking with a get to know you on the first day. Thought some of you might be interested - Shared as a template preview so you can look at it before you decide: https://docs.google.com/.../1fvOSk1MzxCQ.../template/preview I had each table group of 4 students connect and discuss first. Then, I had them do two groups connecting and so on- until we had a whole group discussion of why all the groups connected. They did a great job of justifying their connections.

Reading Graph

Attached below is another helpful resource to use the classroom. I have found these reading graphs to be very helpful and wanted to share them with you today. The graphs can be used for an individual student or for tracking a class. Individualized graphs have also been created for students to keep track of their own reading. It's a helpful tool to keep students accountable for their reading progress. These sheets can be edited and allow teachers, principals, reading specialists or any other school member to track reading data for individual students or student groups. I am a resource / inclusion teacher and personally used them in students data binders and my file for student work samples. Remember document, document, document. Who ever has the most documentation at the end wins!
