Quote of the day
|
my findings:
This was a fantastic strategy to initiate in my practicum classroom. I found students were genuinely excited to see what the new quote of the day way, and eagerly raised their hand because they wanted to be the one to read it to the class. This activity caused students to think critically about the quote, and make personal connections. I think these two qualities made deep, learning connections and allowed students to be ready to learn and focused after. A great resource for this is 365 Days of Wonder: Mr. Browne's Precepts by R.J Palacio. Essentially, each quote had something to do with courage, friendship, love and kindness. Additinally, each quote was age appropriate and easy to understand for younger grade levels. I loved this strategy, and I would initiate it in my future classroom.
