What's Inside: Conferring Toolkit Must Haves!
The beginning of the school year holds varying levels of excitement and stress! It is the time of year when every teacher is preparing their classroom to build the foundation for a warm, engaging, and rigorous environment. But, let's not RUSH things here...we have more time to go into best practices. Before we can model and support readers we must prepare for them. That's where setting up your conferring toolkit with the right tools comes into place!
What YOU can Include:
-iPad
-Conferring binder (Look for my upcoming post on what to add to your binder!)
-Small Expanding File Wallets to store Stop & Jots
- Stop & Jot bookmarks and mini-posters to support students (RESPONSIVE TEACHING)
- Various sizes of Sticky & Flag Notes
-Highlighters, markers, pens, pencils, erasers, paper & binder clips, small stapler, etc….
-Dry erase board & markers (for modeling strategies)
-Index cards
-Ink pads and stamps with fun messages
-Extra reading tools that have been taught (thinkmarks, speech and think bubble sticks, pointer fingers, alphabet charts etc...)
Now that you have seen inside my conferring toolkit, what will you put in yours?
