I haven't spent a lot of time considering writing as the top level "create," and how there are so many fundamentals that need to be in place before a student can successfully tackle the "create" level. I definitely want to present this perspective to my families. ]]> 2021-02-19 18:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1219967294 Writing Strategies sshupe2 https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1220408015 Great tips for helping students become comfortable with the writing process. The anchor papers are a wonderful way to allow families to see expectations for each grade level. Will definitely be sharing with families this LP.

Could we have access to just those slides from Michelle?]]> 2021-02-19 21:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1220432204 Wow! What a great resource.

I will be sharing some of these exercises with my students. kevans70 https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1220437171

Will be using slides 3,4,5,6,7 to share with parents: so many resources! Thank you for the reminder link for Smarter Balanced rubrics/ scoring guides & anchor papers. Will be using many suggestions & resources from this presentation to feature for grades 3-8 at my LP7 meetings. -Bethany https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1220723663 2021-02-20 00:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1220723663 Tons of great information. I need to regularly take time to look through all the resources, as there is a LOT to take in. I can't wait to share these new resources with my families. I also appreciated the mentioning of Podcasts as I've found them to be helpful too, but I haven't mentioned them to my families since the beginning of the school year, so it's time to circle back to them. https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1220768245 2021-02-20 00:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1220768245 Love that so many great resources are shared in one place.

I am having a Reading Performance Task training for "grade clumps" and actually do one with graphic organizers and asking them to start at Step 1 instead of the final essay, etc. https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1222127295 2021-02-20 22:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1222127295 This was so full of helpful tips, information, links and tools!

I think for my LP meetings I want to an activity with my families - What is bigger than big? and What is smaller than small? to incorporate use of word lists and thesaurus use. Also, I like the use of Venn Diagrams... part of Performance Task is being able to listen to audio and gleaning information from that. So maybe, Youtube video on two different interesting animals and doing a venn diagram activity with that. https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1222518161 2021-02-21 05:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1222518161 Great resources!

I think I will share the Common Ground links to families, it has a good overview of literacy and math concepts students should have down by the end of the year.

This is an amazing resource for us to be more resourceful with our families. I will definitely be sharing out so many of these wonderful tools, tips, and strategies. The Performance Tasks rubrics will definitely be discussed with families, especially the parents, to help them understand what is expected as far as the critical thinking and application goes. https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1224851948 2021-02-22 05:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1224851948 Graphic Organizers bpratt38 https://padlet.com/jandrews42/ip0xbjjft15xli83/wish/1227515040 So many of my families skip this step in their curriculum so it's great to highlight the emphasis of how they help build competent writers.
