Do you know what a "Do Now" activity is? A ‘Do Now’ is a common name for an activity that teachers use to begin a lesson (it is also sometimes called a warm-up or bell work). It is often part of the Framing the Learning portion of a lesson. A ‘Do Now’ is a quick, independent or collaborative activity that typically involves no (or minimal) guidance from the teacher. A ‘Do Now’ can be used to activate students learning for the lesson, surface prior knowledge, and familiarize students with lesson vocabulary. A ‘Do Now’ works best if it is an established classroom routine as it signals students that it is time to learn. Well-written and well-practiced ‘Do Nows’ results in less wasted time and more student engagement. A ‘Do Now’ should take less than 10 minutes to complete and assess.

How are you guys doing out there? Do you think your kids made progress in school during this pandemic or do you think they regressed?

Sometimes teachers can get a little confused between writing the Standard and writing the learning objective. Here is a great article that will help with that.

Are You Confusing Standards with Learning Objectives? To some extent, standards should inform instruction. But it’s not as simple as turning standards into learning objectives.

The importance of reading aloud to children:

“Reading picture books to babies and toddlers is important bc You are stretching them in vocabulary and grammar at an early age,” Massaro said. “You are preparing them to be expert language users, and indirectly you are going to facilitate their learning to read.”
