*label books by topic so kids can easily find them
* make a new addition basket for new books
* make and post a diagram of the library so books can be easily located and returned

* first 20 days give script as a valuable resourch
* allowed to fine tune lessons based on cues from kids...prioritize them]]> 2016-07-22 16:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823741 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823747 *Teach students to become "BOOK PROTECTORS" - "These books are like treasures & we need to protect each and every one of them."
*Students use sticky notes in their own books to leave "THINKING TRACKS" without harming the book.
*Something I will do differently because I read this today is that I will implement "Book Selection Conference for students who are struggling to find a "just right" /high interest book.

2) I love the idea of "book selection conferences"  
3) I am going to try out some new routines and be more structured with my class library.]]> 2016-07-22 16:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823777 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823852 Build Efficient Library routines
*Teach students to respect books, "Books are treasures"; create a Book Care anchor chart.
*Establish "Library Open" hours so kids can shop for books; should be in small groups during a time in which teacher can monitor and guide students to their selection if needed; Post times
*Teach kids to find what they are looking for. Anchor chart with "Book box Contents" indicating the number or types of books they should have as a guide; Have a list of "possible future reads"; have a guided reading group for those kids that struggle to select books

This chapter has some great strategies to help manage the selection of books given we have so many students to get through our small libraries. It also provides great anchor charts.

2)Give students daily practice for conversations about books (brief - so that students stay on topic)
3) Spend MORE time teaching students HOW to have those focused/explicit conversations]]> 2016-07-22 16:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823916 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823929 Management:
Day 1: Selecting books, enjoying silent reading. using chart-Reading is thinking and Ways to Choose Books
Establishing clear routines/expectations is so important]]> 2016-07-22 16:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823929 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823933 Interesting thing that I read was about the 2 critical goals to getting started. 
1) Help students think of themselves as readers by reading books that are just right for them and that interest them. 
The second goal is to establish the routines & roles in the classroom. 
2) Students will keep a reading log to record and keep track of the books that they are reading. 
3) I will have to be patient and see what works best for my students.]]> 2016-07-22 16:56:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823933 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823957 Take time to teach specific  classroom library routines and rules for taking care of books.

2.I liked the shopping card to ensure they had both fiction and non-fiction
3.I liked the ideas on how to schedule book shopping without it "taking over"]]> 2016-07-22 16:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116823992 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824001 The author set up a plan for the teacher to help the students during the first twenty days to become "self managed learners who can use literacy as a tool, to fully realize its reward."  another interesting point is  how we can show students don't just "get through" it, reading is "thinking about and reveling" what you read.
I will change instruction by breaking down the pieces of how to do these 20 tasks and set a real routine.]]> 2016-07-22 16:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824001 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824005 1) Construction should not drive instruction
2) Teach in an environment that is effective for our future workforce rather than the factory model that is nearly obsolete
3)Work on building a welcoming community on our school campus using bulletin boards and shared space.]]> 2016-07-22 16:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824005 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824015 1)There is a disconnect between what learners can do, and what their learning environment will allow them to do
2) the purpose of student centered learning is to make learning more personalized for every student
3) learn more about student centered learning]]> 2016-07-22 16:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824015 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824077 Students are taken through a very structured model of what independent reading looks and sounds like through a series of mini-lessons. There are lots of charts created and referred to throughout the first 20 days.

2)Reread the first 8 lessons/days as I address each of those topics with the class.]]> 2016-07-22 17:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824078 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824079 1) How can we use chromebooks to replace traditional reader's workshop items such as reader's notebooks, reading logs, etc? Partner talk discussions, summaries?
2) Upper grade teachers: are you using individual book bags, baskets for students?  ]]> 2016-07-22 17:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824079 https://padlet.com/jgrondek/75jiwmdfj06j/wish/116824080 The way students are taught the importance of of an actual book, including how to handle, how to choose, how to abandon a book.
