THE WOW TO VERTICAL PLANNING DAY! by Latasha Wilder https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22 Use this Padlet to let the admnistrative team know what was the wow effect for you. How did this vertical planning motivate or encourage you? (Don't forget your name.) en-us 2017-12-06 16:25:51 UTC 2017-12-07 00:24:05 UTC hello@padlet.com POWERFUL! latashawilder https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213879760 This was powerful! Hearing the conversations and seeing the passion as you all discuss it was awesome! I look forward to more conversations and observing some good things in your classes! Have a great day!! :)]]> 2017-12-06 19:29:57 UTC https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213879760 4th Grade https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213880807 Math: Realizing that gaps are common among grade levels. Sharing resources to help reinforce areas where there are gaps. 
ELA: Came up with "ON A ROLL" for ELA strategy. Equal concern across grade levels with stamina and text complexity 

Stamina is important. My question is how can we conquer it? (Tasha)]]> 2017-12-06 19:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213880807 Logan Sutton https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213880885
We developed an acronym to use through grades 3-5 for ELA strategies!!

AWESOME!

Long Mill Lions are ....

Observe clues & # Paragraphs
Now read & talk to the text
Analyze questions
Revisit the text & find evidence
Omit the wrong answers
Locate the BEST choice
Look back over the test before moving on



Hearing some new ideas for reading was wonderful.

importance of pre-teaching and re-teaching with Math

This was great!! Your vertical team's hard work will not go unnoticed! (Tasha)

Pre-teaching and re-teaching are both extremely valuable. Common gaps are seen throughout grades 3-5. 


Yes maam! I am glad that you expressed that! It is evident that you practice that! Awesome (Tasha) ]]> 2017-12-06 19:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213881123 The wow effect from today's vertical alignment planning was the brilliant collaboration on developing a reading strategies acronym, so that our school will be using the same common language throughout the building. https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213881211 2017-12-06 19:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213881211 Reviewing, spiraling, and closing gaps are imperative to success!

We have decided to use RAP (Restate, Answer, Prove) in all 3 grade levels. We will give our kindergarten students exposure to coins during calendar time so they will easily recognize them in first and second grade. We will also use similar retelling strategies in order to help the students give strong answers when retelling and answering questions about the text. ]]> 2017-12-06 19:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213883602 Moseley laurenmoseley https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213885984 It was very encouraging to know that we have the same expectations for completing a passage.  We are ON-A-ROLL

I'm also excited to see Kindergarten and Second Grade implement the same anchor chart First Grade is using. It's important for students to hear and see the same terms, and I love how simple our strategy is. I feel we could see growth in next years students. ]]> 2017-12-07 00:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/latashawilder/rlv6kzr6jn22/wish/213950672
