Hello Amy and everyone,
I just heard from a teacher today when I reached out about SLOs. I am wondering if you can use this idea to tie in SEL related topics/books to various cultures. We are grades 5 and 6. All additional ideas regarding what this could look like are welcomed! I am looking for input anyone would have, especially in terms of how our role as LMSs can enrich this idea/SLO in terms of lessons/activities, etc. I may be centering my SLOs around this idea she presented:
"I'm looking to build family engagement within my cohort of classes. I believe that doing so strengthens the learning experience of kids when families are visible members of our teaching and learning. My focus will be literacy. I would like to host two families each month to come in and do a read aloud - a book that speaks to their culture, family history, values, etc. I would purchase these books for the family and have them on display in class for students to read throughout the year.
At the close of the year, I would host a literacy celebration of all families who have joined us as guest readers throughout the year. "
