I got to understand better how to use the Units as reference guides. Having feedback and watching other people do it was enriching. ]]> 2018-08-06 17:26:04 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101230 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101232 Very useful structure to develop reading and writing.

This excitement I felt will surely be passed to the students when it’s their time to write thei stories.]]> 2018-08-06 17:26:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101267 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101276 Something that stood out for me is that we can do a lot in a short period of time. Ten minutes can be very productive if well planned. I also feel that the workshop experience can be very enjoyable because each person is being respected in their personal time.]]> 2018-08-06 17:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101276 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101281 I loved to have the experience of writing as a student and being able to work with a checklist beside me. 🌟🌟😜🌟🌟😜]]> 2018-08-06 17:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101281 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101282 My biggest take away is that Reading and Writing workshops can also work in Portuguese with we focus on the purpose. ]]> 2018-08-06 17:26:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101282 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101318 One lingering question I still have is perhaps know a bit more in detail how the model learning labs are going to happen. ]]> 2018-08-06 17:26:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101318 pmello https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101321 It has been a nice experience! We were not only listening to theories, but putting into practice. I really had the feeling of being a student. ]]> 2018-08-06 17:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101321 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101329 The mini lesson was amazing! Thanks for the opportunity to feel how is the creation and implementation.
The writing workshop was also incredible. So many ideas and new thoughts. Write as a student was great as well. Thanks, Aaron!]]> 2018-08-06 17:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101329 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101341 We all know how important it is for kids to read. The workshop gave us bases of how to make them improve on reading skills.]]> 2018-08-06 17:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101341 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101342 What became clearer for me today was that we will need to adapt the instructions to our reality, given that our older students have never been exposed to the R&W workshop before. My biggest take away is that the expectations are high, which is great. My intention is to master workshop teaching, I know it won’t be easy nor fast, but it will be my focus for the year. I intend to share my writing with my students in order to motivate them and to show that I am also a learner. ]]> 2018-08-06 17:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101342 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101348 Making the writing steps and expectations clear to the student is as important as explaining and following the evaluation checklist. Communication and parallel feedback as well as checking along the checklist between teacher and students is essential for the learning process to be effective ]]> 2018-08-06 17:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101348 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101390 I have been throughrougly enjoying learning more about the reading and writting workshop, and constantly thinking of links the specialists can weave into this process the children will be going through. The teaching practice and feedback was great. Before I was a little self conscious with the idea of coleagues ans adhs coming in to classes and fiving feedback but now I am totally looking forward to that. ]]> 2018-08-06 17:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101390 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101393 2018-08-06 17:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101393 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101395 It was great to see how we all got involved with each other’s writing. I hope we can create that feeling among students.]]> 2018-08-06 17:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101395 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101396 Writing workshop is such an incredible way of modeling for students. The importance of this type of work gives students many opportunities to experiment and try to start with what they have and improve within time. You can focus on strengths and help them work on their weakness. Wish I had known about it before and done it with my past students.]]> 2018-08-06 17:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101396 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101399 It was great to deliver a lesson and be in the students’ shoes. With structure and planning you can fit in so much into a small amount of time and make learning meaningful and engaging. And I am sure we can adapt and start working even with the nursery =)]]> 2018-08-06 17:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101399 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101401 My biggest take-away is that we can expect our students to enjoy and be engaged in reading and writing lessons if we are not engaged. It’s not  delivering a mini lesson and hope they will enjoy it. It is important that we not only express this enthusiasm for reading and writing but actually enjoy doing it ourselves! We have to fell like we are actual readers and writers! ]]> 2018-08-06 17:27:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101401 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101408 Experiencing reading and writing workshops as a student made me realize that these processes can be not only quite interesting but also really fun!!! The check list is a useful tool to guide students and teachers!!

It is great to feel more comfortable and wise about the workshops... We are getting there and this is amazing!]]> 2018-08-06 17:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101432 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101461 Today I was able to clarify a few points, such as, how can I use the strategies that we learned in my art lessons, what kind of partnerships can I do with other teachers or how am I going to implement the structure of a  mini lesson into my lessons. Great day! ]]> 2018-08-06 17:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101461 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101494 Today I feel more confident about the structure of writing and reading workshop. I wonder which steps we could introduce in nursery and wish to discuss with our team specific goals for our grade level. 
It was lovely to see everybody’s engagement on each task, as I truly believe that anything we introduce or expect from our children should make sense to ourselves and we should really enjoy it :)]]> 2018-08-06 17:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101494 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101520 I am loving all the learning. I am eager to begin teaching reading and writing but still have many doubts as to how I can best meet my students needs along with my associate teacher. Since co-teaching is new to me in this kind of model I feel I still need some guidance to plan and to organize everything. Both of us want to do it right and make it happen well from the beginning. The reading and writing workshop model is truly unique. Cannot wait!]]> 2018-08-06 17:29:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101520 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101522 It was an excellent exercise to really feel how the workshop looks like with young children.]]> 2018-08-06 17:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101522 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101556 1- how the structure of the writing workshop is similar to the reading workshop
2- feedback was very helpful both on the minilesson  and on the model writing - your peers are your friends!
3- a next step for me will be to get into all the resources Aaron will share with us about workshops!
4- I plan to always have in mind what the outcomes are (like having the checklist when writing)
5- I’ll definitely need time and support with planning and practicing reading and writing workshops]]> 2018-08-06 17:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101556 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101613 About the writing workshop: While I was putting myself in the shoes of a 2nd grade students I started to think about several stories that could be a good fit for today’s task. This exercise of thinking about stories of my life quickly became a fun journey through my memory. I visited several experiences and, with them, the anchoring feelings that I have related to each one of these adventures. I forgot how fun it is to write. Thank you Aaron and everyone involved for bringing this passion back! My friends always tell me that I should write books for kids. I might bring this project’s idea back to life... 

Takeaways: if this quick experience made me feel this great, I can’t wait to see our students and their amazing creations when going through the Reading and Writing workshop!,,]]> 2018-08-06 17:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101613 https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101620 One of my biggest takeways is to get acquainted with the units of study and get to manipulate the materials. I also found very inviting to have a go, pair up and get to write - it has definitely shown the power of the workshop structure. Given what I've experienced so far from the workshop structure, I'd say my main goal is to explore the physical and digital materials better.]]> 2018-08-06 17:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aaron_vanborek1/ohb6j2nfq9um/wish/272101620
