I'm having a hard time getting to all the kids. I find I spend too much time with one child. ]]> 2018-02-20 13:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233240772 Hughey https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233242385 One of my strengths is that I am finding that my kids are now writing everyday when they use to only write 1-2 times a week. I need to find time to meet with individual kiddos each week to talk about their writing and managing the time.

For KG--how long to spend on each writing piece...?]]> 2018-02-20 13:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233242385 Time... https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233242407 I am finding that I don't have enough time to get writing done every day.   Also some kids are still having trouble getting started on writing.  Once started they do OK.

I feel like a strength of mine is allowing students the opportunity to share their writing. Students choose someone to give a star and a wish. Something, they like about the writing and something they wish the student would do different next time. ]]> 2018-02-20 13:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233242723 Speirs https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233242754 Hard to find writing time on a daily basis.  I can get it in weekly just not daily as I would like to.

I need to work on going beyond that, support writing that is going on in the classroom, as well as working on writing with those who don't have writing goals. The major struggle and hold up, as with others, is feeling like I never have enough time to do all that I want to be able to do to support. https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233244324 2018-02-20 13:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233244324 Whitmyer https://padlet.com/skolar/ta09ajyts6yj/wish/233244491 I have found that the breadth of need - letter formation challenges to writing complete sentences independently creates a challenge on a day to day basis.
