Dillard Street Writes! Group 2 by MrHarbin https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2 Please create a post explaining or illustrating what writing looks like in your classroom. What are the writing expectations placed on your students? What are your feelings on writing in your classroom? Explain or Depict. en-us 2018-08-07 17:55:44 UTC 2018-08-07 18:11:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png In my departmentalized classroom, students are writing to show their understanding of science concepts. Writing in math to explain thinking is a really, really hard metacognitive skill, even for 5th graders. I would like to have students do more writing in my classroom, but there always is an issue of time. They are slow, slow writers and many are intimidated by writing. https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237135 2018-08-07 18:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237135 Students holding a pencil correctly, writing within the lines, forming the letters correctly and writing and illustrating their thoughts. I expect my students to have fun while expressing their thoughts and/or ideas in a creative way. When learning about nonfiction, writing gives me the opportunity to check for understanding and having the ability to create sentences structure. https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237181 2018-08-07 18:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237181 I LOVE WRITING! I am very excited to teach writing to my students this year in whole group and small group. I plan to start by going over the basics such as grammar, organizations, and sentence structure. After my students have a concrete understanding of that, I will move on to writing paragraphs. We will have conferences, publishing parties, mini lessons, and revising with peers. https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237251 2018-08-07 18:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237251 In my classroom students are writing to explain their thinking or to answer specific questions using evidence to support their reasoning. https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237260 2018-08-07 18:04:31 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237260 In my classroom, writing is very differentiated. Some students write independently, some trace, some choose pictures, to respond to the prompt/question. All students must respond, however; the difference just lies in the amount of prompting and accommodations. We strive for all students to write with accurate strokes, correct spacing, in the lines, and spelling at least phonetically. I like to challenge the students with writing, but am sometimes intimidated by how much (and in what way) I should challenge the students who are higher functioning. https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237262 2018-08-07 18:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237262 We write in class many ways. we write in centers, math, reading and science. If you were to walk in you would see students working on starting sentence with capital letters, ending sentences with periods, and working on spacing between words out. We work on getting the children to start with and opening sentence adding three details about the topic and then a closing sentence to start to build a paragraph. https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237295 2018-08-07 18:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237295 we begin by writing names, holding pencils correctly and creating illustrations to begin the idea of a story, we work alot on forming letters correctly, and building up to writing a sentence! https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237332 2018-08-07 18:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237332 What's Writing? https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237335 I like writing myself, but I do not like to grade writing.

I would like the students to do more creative writing, but that is not in our scope and sequence.

Once they've accomplished this task, they focus on answering short response questions using information from a text to support their answeres. https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237417 2018-08-07 18:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237417 Stressful https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237535 I can write, I am not a good teacher of writing. I struggle to teach little ones how to write. The writing process specifically. I can help a child write to answer a short response question but wish we had a specific program to follow curriculum wise. ]]> 2018-08-07 18:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237535 https://padlet.com/charles_harbin/Dillardwrites2/wish/272237688 It seems impossible at times and there
