1. It is important to discuss the learning targets and review vocabulary with students. 
2. Learning targets are for the students. 
3. The teacher connected the real life experience of writing a letter to the "bessbug" company to the standard. 
Questions:
1. How does the teacher support the students who might need more support with the learning targets?
2. I wonder why the teacher choose to not use technology in the lesson? 

In my classroom I can spend more time analyzing the learning targets and reviewing vocabulary in them. ]]> 2023-10-02 18:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729115533 https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729125537 Takeaways: Putting the targets in child friendly language, Reviewing the target throughout the lesson not just in the beginning,  Connecting the lesson to real world experiences ( the teacher made the lesson about writing thank you notes to the company that sent them bugs)
Question: How can we make sure to keep the integrity of the target while putting it in child friendly words? Can the target be an I can statement?
Action: Change targets into child friendly language. ]]> 2023-10-02 18:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729125537 https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729125544 Takeaways:  The learning target was connected to something  that was meaningful to the students.  Learning targets should be in child friendly language in order for the students to understand . The exit ticket would clearly let the teacher know who mastered the skills in the learning target.  

Questions:  What scaffolds do the children who have difficulty writing have?  Is letter writing connected to a kindergarten 
standard?

Action:  We have been spending more time reading and discussing learning targets so the students are able to better understand what is expected of them and they take ownership of their learning.]]> 2023-10-02 18:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729125544 mreyes941 https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729126959 First Takeaway: One of the main purposes of a learning target is to guide educators on what we really are to teach  and  have our students discuss and reflect on what they are to learn.

Second Takeaway:  As teachers, we should also use learning targets as a way to determine what strategies we should be implementing for students to demonstrate their level of knowledge and skills. 

Last Takeaway:  The importance of clearly describe what students will learn and are able to do by the end of each lesson, unit or project. 

Questions: What scaffolding/strategies should educators use with students that demonstrate difficulties in reading and writing, mostly for kindergarteners? 

What is the problem/challenge that as teachers we need to address when it comes to learning target? 

Action: Implement strategies that can help our students enhance their reading and/or writing skills by using different visual representations such as videos, images and vocabularies that they can use in their reading and writing skills. ]]> 2023-10-02 18:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729126959 ofortich1 https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729134141 Preplanning and unpacking the academic vocabulary help students better understand what is expected of them by the end of the lesson.

1. Students can self-assess when learning targets are reviewed throughout the lesson.
2. Students can access content-specific and academic vocabulary with effective planning before lessons are taught.
3. The teacher was able to connect her students with the real-world. Students wrote letters to show their appreciation for their classroom pet.

Question:
1. What scaffolds were used to support students that have not acquired the skills for recognizing and writing their letters?

Action:
Students are currently working on self-assessing with the learning target. As they work in whole class and small group activities , students revisit the learning target multi-times. They also complete exit tickets that supports the learning target.]]> 2023-10-02 19:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729135893 https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729151137 The benefits of preplanning and unpacking academic vocabulary in a learning target:
- students are exposed to word origins, multiple meanings of words, and references to abstract concepts that relate and connect directly to targeted content areas. - students have a better understanding of the content and therefore can understand their learning goal.]]> 2023-10-02 19:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729151137 lnelson83 https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729152361 Students need to understand the vocabulary in order to understand the target.

- Learning targets belong to students
- Learning targets are tangible goals that they can understand and work toward, allows for transfer ownership 
- Lessons derived from chunking the standard
- Targets should emphasize the learning not the task

Question: 
How can I make more meaningful learning targets?

Action: Using goals to create lessons that align to the standards. ]]> 2023-10-02 19:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729182409 mreyes941 https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729192085 The importance of planning and unpacking academic vocabulary in order to better support our students by applying new ideas and concepts that can build in their academic learning. ]]> 2023-10-02 19:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/npagan/mrdkfny8lk7qtj72/wish/2729192085
