Food For Thought... Making the Target Clear
The most effective use of an objective, EQ or kid friendly goal is when it is used by the teacher to focus the learning, set the tone for the activity or lesson. Students should know what they are to be learning, or why they are doing an activity. Setting the objective is a high-yield instructional strategy that can happen during any part of the lesson, and can be used to refocus or recap/summarize a segment of the class before moving on to the next part of the class or lesson.
Do your students know why they are doing a task or activity? Do they know what they should know and be able to do when the lesson is over?
You have very limited board space, but I do think it is valuable use of some of that space to set your learning objective or target with kids.

Shoutouts from Leadership

- Students in Ms. Heldenbrand's class were building sentences with a multi-sensory center activity on Thursday.
