In my professional opinion, learning about yourself as a reader and your reading habits and thoughts is exactly what our students need to be doing regularly, and they should hear this kind of thinking modeled by their teacher on a daily basis when reading aloud to the class. We feel this TEK is a fundamental skill that should be explicitly taught at the beginning of the year and beyond. ]]> 2017-10-04 21:13:37 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksk1/ELAUP/wish/194094039 UH-OH https://padlet.com/brooksk1/ELAUP/wish/194096023 Based on these writing samples, we feel a lot of work needs to be done to prepare students to write like the 3rd and 4th graders are writing in these samples.  And- this is just narrative writing! What about expository? ]]> 2017-10-04 21:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksk1/ELAUP/wish/194096023
