*lesson 4welcome To Mrs. Bryan's Learning Cafe

Cultivating a postive classroom community is such an important part of teaching, and I’ve learned that little things go a long way. One of the ways to help build our students up is to help them see themselves (and their classmates) in a positive light. One of the ways I did that this year was by doing an activity all about “The Best Part of Me.”

SS8H3 The student will analyze the role of Georgia in the American Revolution. Explain the immediate and long-term causes of the American Revolution and their impact on Georgia; include the French and Indian War (Seven Years War), Proclamation of 1763, Stamp Act, Intolerable Acts, and the Declaration of Independence.

  • Tanner Ennis, her son, and current sixth grader, presented her with the award! There was not a dry eye in the house! We are so proud that Mrs. Ennis is going to represent us and be our nomination for Bryan County Schools Teacher of the Year. Please join us for an Open House Reception honoring Mrs. Ennis on September 15th at 7:40 AM.
  • Academic Information. Math Curriculum: Go Math. Reading Curriculum: Reading Street supplemented by Storyworks magazine and grade level novels. Science: New Science under review.
  • ES EF RESORCES TEACHER’S NOTES At the Restaurant Role-Play. This restaurant role-play can be used to help students practice ordering food and drink.
  • Using two different styles of English really defines the characters in the short story. It helps show the “lesson” in a way of student and teacher. Sylvia is the student that uses AAVE while the teacher, Miss Moore, uses SAE. Miss Moore is trying to teach Sylvia that though she is underprivileged she can still amount to something.
I’ve mentioned my sweet friend LeAnn several times, because she is a constant source of inspiration! When I visited her classroom a while back (we teach at different schools), I saw her students’ adorable “Best Part of Me” pictures and writings. I knew I had to do it with my kiddos!
The original lesson is from Genia Connell on Scholastic’s website. {here} The mentor text for this activity is The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald.

I love the idea of the book and that the author went into 3rd-5th grade classrooms and the pictures were great inspirations for my students to start thinking about the best part of them and to understand what their final product was going to look like. I guess I just thought there would be a lot more poems to pick from, but the book didn’t have as many as I thought it would! The couple that I chose to read worked out well and my students enjoyed them.

I love how the black and white photos turned out and it looks so great having the best part of all my students on a beautiful bulletin board display for everyone to see! I’m hoping to make a class book with all the poems so that I can use them next year when I am teaching the lesson!
