With my 3rd graders I mark the question wrong and tell them they have to re-do the question(s) AND provide the page number of where the answer was found.

Give them a sentence starter as a guide. "I know this because it says on page __ that... or the author writes that...

Set it up as if they’re investigating a mystery they have to solve and the evidence they collect has to be presented.

You provide strips of paper with statements about the article and have them sort which ones are facts that they can defend using evidence from the article you provided and which ones are feelings-based or opinions.

Create a graphic organizer where you provide a statement related to an article’s argument or main idea and they need to find the evidence and quote the text next to it.

I use text evidence phrase posters regularly. We also reiterate fact vs. opinion often.

I love these strategies!

I have them highlight the text if it’s a passage that I printed, or take notes on a stickie. It’s hard though to break that habit with some kids.

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet. I knew if I told them, their behavior would be even worse. How would you explain to the kids you’re leaving? I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.

What's a rule you are expected to enforce that you strongly disagree with or are indifferent to. Do you enforce it or take the risk? I move around as a tutor and am currently working with a school that has a ridiculously strict formal address policy. One of my second graders refers to me as "Miss Tutoring (my first name)" - it's about the cutest thing ever and doesn't bother me one bit. We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
