question and give them a positive point on the class dojo, so this way helps to encourage the students to
participate and raise their hand to answer.

lesson by guessing what inside the eggs.? I use Class Dojo to pick some student and come to the front and
wear the gloves and try to enter her/ his hands in the egg and guess what inside. All the student
responded good to me and they want to try it. I made a KWL chart after that I gave them different activity
for 3 levels. Finally, I did a formative assessment exit ticket.
