How many priorities are in Unit 1 for you?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889063 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889064 All are written in student friendly terms to be printed and used! They may not be perfect! PLEASE give feedback and try modifying or changing if needed, but share it with Toolbox! Are you ready to dive in and use some of these with students?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889064 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889065 Check out Step ONE in the proficiency scales tab to see when priorities are taught and reinforced. You have all those opportunities to show your students have mastery. How does this make you feel?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889065 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889066 Check out your new CSA's! You should notice the "scale level" of each question listed. This will help you identify where students are at in the learning. CSA's are a work in progress but we have started the realignment process. What do you notice about yours?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889066 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889067 All Priority Indicators should have at least 2 CFA's before they are tested? These CFA's should be talked about as a team so you can help shift instruction. Please include Melissa in as many of these conversations this year as possible. Use the Data Analysis document for each CFA this year when you have conversations. CFA's are pointless and just another test, unless you dialogue, analyze, and shift instruction based on them! On a scale from 1 (lowest)-4 (highest)- how well did you team do with conversation and shifting of instruction this year?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889067 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889068 What else do you notice in the curriculum guides that you want to talk about?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889068 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889069 If technology is being used it should mainly be for 5 C's activities. Typing Club is part of the curriculum, so that is an exception. If students are listening to reading, we need multiple kids sharing the device. Do you have a Rockstar (splitter for headphones)? What will you need to think differently about for rotations for your kids this year?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889069 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889070 How will you post learning goals for this independent learning time that needs to be valuable to students? Students should know the purpose of their work time.]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889070 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889071 We started anecdotal notes last year. This year, lets make them a habit! Primary- always take notes on Day 1 of GR lessons. Intermediate- take ongoing notes throughout the books or lessons.]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889071 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889072 We are great at asking questions to see if they comprehend, but do we TEACH the comprehension? Is there a comprehension skill you struggle to teach kids and want to learn more strategies for teaching?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889072 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889073 I have new updated materials for the kits that align the questioning rigor to the new F & P scoring. Who will be responsible for putting the new items in your kits as they are received?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889073 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889074 As we do RR's this year, our questioning should align to what we are teaching our students, not just questions about skills we know they have already mastered. Are your Instructional RR's showing that students are ready to move? Independent means we held them too long? Why are seeing a match or mismatch?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889074 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889075 Yes, even GR has goals - you plan for them. How did you post them and engage students with them last year? Or how do you see making this manageable this year?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889075 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889076 With the addition of MAP testing, we will try doing some skills groupings during GR this year at 3 different times.  These groups will be 2-3 weeks long and could stay the same or flex during this time frame.  Timeline is end of 1st quarter (October), end of 2nd quarter (December), end of 3rd quarter (March).]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889076 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889077 We have reduced Writer's Workshop as a building to 45 minutes. We must protect this 45 minutes. Take a look at your schedules. How will you manage transition time to maximize your reduced time]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889077 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889078 With shortened workshop times, comes very succinct mini lessons! They must remain no more than 12 minutes! You can still take 10 min. for Word Study Instruction once a week. How can you look at integrating grammar into the mini-lesson? Or how will you keep that grammar lesson at 5 minutes? Reach out for help if needed! ]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889078 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889079 We still believe this should be the largest percentage of the workshop. Students must be writing for 20-25 minutes of the workshop time. There will be days that you can still get in 30 minutes and students will need that.]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889079 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889080 Curriculum guides tell you what is a NEW skill or a REVIEW skill. This will help you plan differently for grammar. Year 3 of grammar. . . will we start seeing a difference? What did you notice from Year 1 to Year 2?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889080 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889082 Just like stating your objectives to start the lesson, you MUST come back and bring closure to the writing and the lesson for the day. How have you done this or will you do it this year?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889082 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889083 Let's take time to double-score a few more together! Take a look at the calendar and plan a PLC, Plan Time, or In-Service Day to plan with Melissa. Insert the dates below.]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889083 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889085 You all do it, but are you taking the anecdotal notes? Do you have a method to your madness or want to talk further?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889085 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889086 You have already told me which unit you want support with this year. I will email you to plan prior to it's start.]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889086 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889087 How can you get to know your students better as readers?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889087 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889088 How will you find time to share the love of reading with a Chapter Book or Author study? A classroom sign will be posted in the library windows that you can either replace as needed or email Melissa to replace!]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889088 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889089 Have you been in to watch the training on typing? What questions or concerns can we talk through?]]> 2018-06-20 03:19:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/267889089 mlhansen2 https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/270889272 This year we will pilot no RR's for all students who are at least ONE level above the target. These students are "fluent" readers and don't struggle with accuracy and fluency, so that component isn't necessary. Instead you will just do the comprehension check that is typically on the back of RR's and take anecdotal notes. It will also require that you Benchmark all these students to start the year to make sure we have that placed accurately. ]]> 2018-07-23 18:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mlhansen2/v9c33uhvm9e/wish/270889272
