GRADE 5 Ideas for Word Study by Olivia White https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1 Made with charm en-us 2016-06-13 05:44:27 UTC 2026-01-26 13:13:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Keep it the same! owh2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114448972 Word Study will be as it is now!]]> 2016-06-13 05:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114448972 Word Study In My Classroom owh2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114448999 I keep my own students and will teach Word Study. ]]> 2016-06-13 05:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114448999 Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation Inquiries owh2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114449022 I keep my class and teach conventions through inquiry]]> 2016-06-13 05:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114449022 Other ideas, comments and thinking owh2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114449039 or we could do this...]]> 2016-06-13 05:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114449039 Why would we keep something the same when we don't think it is working? TCr https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114452790 2016-06-13 07:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114452790 This might include vocabulary, homophones as well as patterns and keep grammar and punctuation embedded in writing/reading? https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114452831 Is the priority knowing the teaching and learning in word study very well so we can see the benefits to make more informed choices?TCr]]> 2016-06-13 07:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114452831 If the team feels that spelling is 'high' (we might need to figure this out for ourselves- EBC) and grammar seems to be a struggle for kids, perhaps we don't need to spend a lot of time on learning and teaching WTW with fidelity?  Maybe TCr https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114452876 2016-06-13 07:12:58 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114452876 Tweek it... jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114453398 What if we paired up with one other class for word study? Maybe only two groups per class, TAs could get involved. Teachers have set expectations, and Home Work. Could be more manageable/ meaningful this way.
Jen]]> 2016-06-13 07:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114453398 I have done this before. It can be done. The key is have routines in place and students know exactly what to do. You would want a TA to be involved too. jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114453599 When I did this before, it was with grade 3 and Word Study was done in the morning. Jen]]> 2016-06-13 07:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114453599 Are we talking about Studying words or just spelling? jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114453782 Spelling makes me think of  word list and memorization.  Word Study makes me think it learning meanings, parts of speech, how to use, related words, etc.

-what resources will be used?
-how will there be consistency?
-will we be able to answer questions about what we are doing using best practice and research?

]]> 2016-06-13 07:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114453890 Have we asked the students what they think? It could be an interesting perspective. What about asking parents too jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454125 A quick survey to parents and students could give us a lot of information. Jen]]> 2016-06-13 07:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454125 New Idea jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454280 http://www.wordworkskingston.com/WordWorks/Home.html

This was recommended by a past colleague...
Jen]]> 2016-06-13 07:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454280 People still need training to understand it fully. Since I have been at this school, there hasn't been any in depth training. I'm relying on my knowledge from my time in the states (13 years ago now) I'm sure it has changed and progress, a LOT! jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454361 Jen]]> 2016-06-13 07:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454361 It would help to have similar expectations in regards to home  learning.

Could it start on another day and not be first thing in the morning? jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454517 Jen]]> 2016-06-13 07:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454517 If all other grades are doing Word Study, should we just throw it out? Jen jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454580 2016-06-13 07:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454580 If we do something new and it is inquiry focused, could we just have 5 periods of writing a week and then weave it naturally through the Writing Units. It will then be embedded in what is already being done jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454670 2016-06-13 07:40:26 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454670 Could be good to incorporate some of the students own words each week (Ive done this in the past too with good success) Words misspelled in their own writing are added to a personal word list. Would give a individual twist to this while keeping students accountable to the spelling of words in all areas. jsm2 https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454737 Jen]]> 2016-06-13 07:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/114454737 Workload https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/115008581 If we change, who will do the majority of the work for the new programme?]]> 2016-06-20 02:05:17 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/115008581 I like the idea of pairing with a buddy class - it is a lot of work to have 3-5 groups....that might help https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/115009436 2016-06-20 02:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/115009436 Pairing is possibly a good solution - I also like the idea of students having a couple of their own words relevant to their writing  SLCUWC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/115009509 2016-06-20 02:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/owh2/9jqbtset6it1/wish/115009509
