I am really looking forward to trying out the McGraw Hill Writing Resources with my students.
2. I would like to dive deeper in using the Ramped Up Read Aloud resource that I have.]]> 2022-11-08 15:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375244855 paulbarthelmeh https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375253365   I really liked the video on how to make lemonade! I am going to use that when I teach the kids about "How-To" projects. I also like the book Henry's Freedom Box to use for explaining biographies which I do with my students. I like that there is a text/book that has a rubric for the students to follow along with and use on their own self-chosen biographies.]]> 2022-11-08 15:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375253365 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375262502 Thank you for the presentation! I loved relearning the different resources available with Wonders! ]]> 2022-11-08 16:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375262502 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375292665 I really enjoyed the review of the McGraw Hill writing resources. I also am excited to look into the ramped up read aloud series to hold more classroom read alouds outside of Wonders. It will be nice to focus on specific writing strategies for each writing piece we do. Thank you!]]> 2022-11-08 16:19:50 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375292665 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375294586 I am looking forward to exploring "Ramped Up Read Aloud" to help me use read alouds in lessons for informational text writing. I would like to see how that compares with the Interactive Read Alouds books by Linda Hoyt. As a resource room teacher, the kids really respond to Read Alouds and I think they set up an excellent context for writing. Also, I wanted to give a shout out to Liz B. who is at my building and is awesome. ]]> 2022-11-08 16:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375294586 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375306520 I thought the information on the Wonders writing was very helpful! Especially the models they have on there for students! 
I also love seeing mentor texts and anchor charts/mini lessons that go along with them!

One takeaway I have from today is the anchor chart "can/have/are" that helps students organize details as they plan their writing.
The Wakelet resources also have some great takeaways. Nell Duke's editing checklists and the non-negotiables monitoring form will be helpful. The videos on informational writing for kids to introduce topics will be a great resource. ]]> 2022-11-08 16:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375354723 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375367274 The resources provided will be useful in my class.

What a great introduction (engaging activity) and modeling towards How-to writing essays. In addition, navigating through Wonders can be overwhelming so the step-by step instruction was refreshing especially for a new teacher or someone learning the program. ]]> 2022-11-08 19:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375576354 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375643321 I enjoyed the information given and look forward to implementing some of these resources in my classroom.]]> 2022-11-08 20:08:01 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375643321 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375687747 Fabulous presentation! I have the Ramped Up Read-Aloud and it was a great reminder of all the amazing materials and ideas I can pull from there to use mentor texts for my classroom. I also enjoyed the various anchor charts to aid students in organizing the information they obtain to better recall later on when it comes time to write. I look forward to utilizing these ideas and resources as we move into our informational writing unit. ]]> 2022-11-08 20:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375687747 https://padlet.com/elizabeth_bojaj/6w5hsw2f49na59wt/wish/2375699027 Thank you for connecting the writing assessments through UCS with the resources we have in McGraw Hill.

by step lessons to refer to.
