[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been teaching ESY this summer and it has been such a great experience! I have a mixture of students in my self contained k-2 class. DCPS has really enforced teachers using one platform teams. The things that have been the most useful has been having a morning meeting every morning followed by a read aloud. For morning meeting I use PowerPoint, starfall(calendar)and GoNoodle. For read aloud I have been using Vooks along with YouTube along with PowerPoint slides that I have created with questions and visuals -for responses. I try to have objectives posted on each slide and keep the questions similar each week so the students get used to structure. I hope to change it over time. Morning meeting and read aloud can go for 30-45 minutes.

I have been meeting with each of my students for 30 minutes one on one at the same time everyday.Families can get overwhelmed with different work times each day. Two days for  ELA and 2 days Math. I send the PowerPoint lesson for ELA and Math before the lesson in case parents want to print it out. Downtown has also been printing out work for the students and mailing it to their house. I also send ELA and Math independent work at the beginning of the week to be completed throughout the week. Boom cards have been great to use to help students work on specific goals and then I can send the parents the link to the cards if they want to work on it later with their child.

During the school year I had only 50 percent of the students participating in online learning and now I have 87 percent.

I'm learning so much!  Thank you PP!

I just checked out Starfall Calendar.  Really useful!   Do you show it on your screen and have the students talk about it or do you assign it to them and have them do the interactive activity?

Love GoNoodle -- looks like a great source of 5 minute active songs and brain breaks.

How do you do a read aloud with Vooks and Power Point?

So Morning meeting is 45 minutes daily, and after that you meet with students individually for half an hour twice a week?  Once for math and once for language arts?  How many students do you have?[/quote]

I share my screen when going over the calendar on star fall  each day and we talk about upcoming dates and holidays. I will also look up the National day Website. One day this week was the National day of gummy worms and then we discussed if they like that item using visuals.

I will play the vooks books and pause and show PowerPoint slides with the question and visuals of possible answers. I will also save questions for the end to review as a class. We will complete a writing activity at the end of the lesson  and then I will post it so they can complete it as an extension.

I meet with them for 30 minutes 4 times a week( 2 days math and 2 days ELA). I have 8 students  that vary in ability from 6 months to on grade level. I would imagine that in a gen ed class with would be small group rather than individual sessions.[/quote]
