Tool 8 Reflection by Shanna Mattax https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q Please answer the questions and respond to at least 2 people en-us 2024-08-05 17:29:39 UTC 2024-09-03 20:06:13 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/462140069/465db928ca12ea9b4e9b06939c83dbba/Top_10_Tools_Logo.png Nicole Miller https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3068011597 Being intentional about using writing connected to what we have read or students have read in class. I liked the connection between reading and writing

In Kindergarten I feel like we are always working to put all the pieces together and it sounds like that's how it should be!

I liked the sentence activities she gave where the students were standing and each had a paper and they constructed sentences together!

Miller https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3068153041 It was a good reminder that writing begins with oral language first in the oral summary statement. I think it will be helpful to a lot of our students to hear what they are going to write first before having to write it themselves.

Hobbs https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3068685067 Thinking and writing about information we are learning helps to form memories for ideas, stronger recall for information, and stronger language skills.

phonics.  We’ve always said that writing is so abstract, which can make it more difficult to teach.

]]> 2024-08-06 11:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3068685209 O. Hobbs https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3068685429 I liked the way she had students take notes, specifically, when they were coming up with a topic statement.  I appreciate the structure of asking kids to come up with the topic, a verb, and then to finish it.  So many times we just ask students to come up with it, but we don’t have a way of teaching them how to structure it.

I wrote down JOTT and SEED but I've completely forgotten what they mean lol.

I think this would be a great way to connect the two, have our students really practice rehearsing orally and then writing their thoughts, and also help work on the sentence writing and conventions.

Making sure our students are able to verbally talk about what they will say and put together prior to beginning to write.

And providing and practicing the use of sentence stems to construct written responses to out guided reading time.

"Even skilled writers can be limited by working-memory capacity so that they cannot handle all aspects of the writing tasks simultaneously." This makes so much sense when we look at educational evaluations and see that a student is lagging or lower in their working memory, thus they need more supports to create written responses :)

We spend a lot of time on both in kindergarten so its good to know we are doing what we need to do to set them up for success in writing.

I feel like this is something that could even be done in kindergarten!

]]> 2024-08-11 17:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3072539459 Malanie Connor https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3072539810 this was not all new but just reminded me how important it is for students to be able to talk about their topics and ideas first. Sometimes during writing time I just tell students what they are going to write about and have them just go do it then students need help. I feel like if allow students the time to share ideas they would be able to complete the work more independently

I haven't thought of it in this way before. I like that there is so much priority placed on the verb, because I teach that in text structure and summarizing lessons already.

]]> 2024-08-11 18:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3072546736 Pryor https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3072547526 We literally just did a sentence building lesson like the seed lesson. But, we need to implement more time for the students to build their own. I also liked the quick writes for 2-3 minutes a day, I used to do that (learned it an eon ago in Lawrence) and feel like it was beneficial for building stamina and comfort/ease of writing daily.

]]> 2024-08-11 18:08:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3072547526 Pryor https://padlet.com/smattax/oo61gj657viclw0q/wish/3072547968 I wasn't very surprised by this unit, but found it interesting how many organizers were relied on. I love graphic organizers and will be implementing these new ones.

I also like the two column BME for writing summaries or just talking about what the stories/books/articles are about.

Last year in resource writing-a lot of the kids would just say "I don't know" when given a topic to start writing about. Being able to break it down on a graphic organizer was great for them!

Even if the kids write for only 2 minutes every single day, it gives them the exposure and practice required. And also how they incorporated the reading rope into the writing piece.
