#2ndaryELA is a group of middle and high school English Language Arts teachers looking to share ideas and best practices. We chat every Tuesday night at 8 pm EST using #2ndaryELA. We'd love for you to join us!
A1 This year we are bringing back the Yule Log as part of our Winter Solstice celebration, celebrating nature instead of a denominational holiday because we're an environmental school #2ndaryELA
A1: As a school we have a holiday concert where the choirs and bands perform. Then we have a school wide sing a long on the last day before holiday break. #2ndaryELA
A2 I don't have my own classroom right now but I love the idea of giving the gift of words as described in this blog post https://t.co/GLcVnxOJV4 (Tip #3) #2ndaryELA
A1: Our school doesn't offically celebrate Christmas or not celebrate Christmas - it's more of a classroom thing. We're reading A Christmas Carol. #2ndaryela
A3 Using nonfiction texts tied to the holidays is a great way to keep things academic any time a holiday comes up. Students learn about the holiday and don't realize they are also practicing readings skills https://t.co/WS8BWRtNJ7#2ndaryELA
