... Read moreEngaging read alouds are essential for capturing the attention of young learners. When teachers implement dynamic techniques during read aloud sessions, it not only captivates students but also minimizes side conversations, ensuring a more focused learning environment. In the acclaimed Classroom Management 101 course, educators learn effective strategies to enhance their read alouds. Participants will explore how to utilize voice modulation, interactive questioning, and visual aids to draw students into the story. By transforming the reading experience, teachers can foster a love for books while also promoting listening skills and comprehension. This course is particularly beneficial for educators in pre-k through 1st grade, who often face challenges in maintaining student engagement. Techniques taught in this course can be easily adapted to suit various classroom dynamics, making it a valuable resource for teachers who are new to the profession or those looking to refine their classroom management skills. Engaging read alouds can set a positive tone for the entire classroom, develop critical literacy skills, and build a strong class community where students feel valued and heard.

You should be! Engaging the core during all of your exercises, even ones that don’t seem to obviously use the core, leads to a stronger physical foundation. A solid core will help you have more power, smoother lifts, and better balance. #coreworkout #cardio #gymgirlie
