Management and Rest Workshop Reflections by Amanda Griffin https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd Be sure to include your name for renewal credit purposes. Thanks! en-us 2023-01-10 16:51:58 UTC 2023-01-30 17:40:26 UTC hello@padlet.com I plan to use a partnership format called "Clock Partners." The 9:00 is their seat buddy, 12:00 is their reading partners, 3:00 is student pick #1 and 6:00 is student pick #2. I will type it up and post it in the classroom. I also found cards on TPT that allow for random partnerships, based on matching (Salt & Pepper, Mac & Cheese, etc.) I used the cards today for partner reading! - Jennifer Castilla https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2447419652 2023-01-17 19:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2447419652 Tech Help kroppc https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2447449410 I love the ideas for what to do if something is going wrong with your device. Most of the time at least one child has some type of issue with their device during rotations and this takes away from the small group I am meeting with. I am not sure if a tech helper would work but I would like to do something like that to give students another option other than coming to me as their only recourse. ]]> 2023-01-17 20:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2447449410 kroppc https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2447455424 This is how I organize my students materials. Each child has a table basket that holds all their composition books and a work folder (everyone has red and all the covers for each book are color coded as well). Unfinished work goes in the folder rather than jammed into the back of the desk. Students also have a personal tool kit (purple in this pic) that has their scissors, pencil, glue, etc.) The shared materials go in a table tool basket (orange in this pic) and includes things like post-it notes, markers, color pencils, and special crayons. Each table has a different color basket so I also use this as a management tool.]]> 2023-01-17 20:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2447455424 I have informally sent tech. issues to a handful of tech-savvy students, but I am going to add that as a class job! :)- Jennifer Castilla https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2448206044 2023-01-18 11:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2448206044 I love the little conference layout reminders we got and started implementing them during my reading conferences. My students had to complete a self-reflection form to find new reading goals for themselves. Now as I am conferencing with them to set goals I love using the layout and the little reminder is coming in so handy! Thank you! - Ulrike "Ricki" Trease https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2448255448 2023-01-18 12:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2448255448 I refreshed my partnerships and named A and B partners rather than always having to clarify which partner I want to share first. gronerk https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2448809186 2023-01-18 18:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2448809186 https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2450481560 I loved the idea on how to "spice" up partnerships! I created a few fun charts on how I can easily group students. I have been using these fun names this week and my students love it! I have found this also makes it easier for me to clarify which partner needs to "turn and talk" first. I have been using these names to help students understand the difference between reading, writing, and rug club partnerships!!

This past week when I met with my students to conference about their writing, I was able to pinpoint what areas they needed support with. I focused on one at a time so I would not overwhelm them. We are working on NF chapter books. One student felt like she was done writing and after we conferenced about ways to make our writing stronger, I helped her focus just on her pictures with labels and arrows. Another student was in the same boat but I helped her focus on her spelling and punctuation. By having them both sitting at my table, I can always tell they pick up more ideas from the conferences taking place around them. When we meet this week, we will check in on that one specific goal I gave them. These goals are written down on my conference sheet that I keep in their individual folders so they can go back to their goals even when working independently. letterhosn https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2451988325 2023-01-21 18:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2451988325 Amy McKearney https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2458201084 I updated and reviewed my carpet partnerships and made sure students knew who partner A and partner B were. We also discussed what to do when you partner is not there or missing. Students now know if their parnter isn't their they turn to a group near them and join as a group of three. Saves time having to match up partnerships or give reminders. ]]> 2023-01-26 20:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2458201084 lyonsd6 https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2461816234 I have started to create my partnerships! We sit at the carpet like going on an airplane and they have their specific seat. Bodhi and Harper are in charge of materials being distributed and making sure directions are understood. The flight attendants change each Monday of the new week!]]> 2023-01-30 17:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/griffina2/6n9exrac3mql5zfd/wish/2461816234
