I think I’ll use this guide when we are having a discussion about a book we read in class. ]]> 2020-03-12 23:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459594454 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459658179 I would have different types of texts in my classrooms dealing with a variety of topics. I would incorporate pictures, graphs, maps, etc. These will all help students gain a deeper understanding of the topics. When I am doing a lesson on one of the topics, I can integrate the text sets that go with that topic.]]> 2020-03-13 02:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459658179 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459661763 In class, we will talk about what makes a text they read purposeful.  Like Tovani, I will ask students what they read recently and why. Did they really like the topic? Was it for an assignment? Were they curious? I will tell them that there is always going to be a purpose for the reading the books we read in this class. They will be informed of the purpose every time they have a text in class. ]]> 2020-03-13 02:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459661763 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459664860 I love the weekly calendar used by Tovani! I think to modify this for a kindergarten classroom, I could instead meet with each student, individually, face to face. We would discuss things going on in their lives or anything they want to talk about. I could also stick with the writing. They could draw what they are feeling.]]> 2020-03-13 02:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459664860 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459672215 Whenever I am discussing a topic in class and there is a picture to go along with it, I plan to use it. I will ask students what they notice about the picture. When we are reading picture books, I could go through the book (without reading the words) and ask students what they think is happening. Then, we could go through the book and read the words. We could compare what they thought was happening by just looking at the picture and what the words say is happening. ]]> 2020-03-13 03:15:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459672215 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459675562 When going through a written text, students will use highlighters.  They can highlight words that are new to them, something they connected to in the text, or anything they felt was important. We will discuss as a whole group, or in small groups what we highlighted. ]]> 2020-03-13 03:26:46 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459675562 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459677711 When we are reading a text or learning about something, students will get the chance to raise their hands to tell me a question they have. These questions will be answered as we keep reading/learning. Students can also ask questions at the beginning. Then, I could make sure to talk about the question and answer(s) as we read or learn. ]]> 2020-03-13 03:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459677711 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459679991 Kindergarteners could keep a journal about different things they do in the classroom. For texts we’ve read, they can jot down a few thoughts/questions or draw a picture. They can make a science journal for different experiments we do. They can jot down words that remind of the topic we are learning. Math problems or tips can be added to a journal. ]]> 2020-03-13 03:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459679991 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459681752 In a kindergarten classroom, I would have students do the things on these sheet with partners or with me. They would tell me or their peers what their book is about. They could tell me or their peers what they thought about the book.  The could talk about the characters. ]]> 2020-03-13 03:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459681752 emassman_21 https://padlet.com/emassman_21/wp42tuballi7/wish/459683227 Student will partner up with people in the classroom. They will pick a book together or I would assign them a text. Students will jot down anything they find or think is important or draw a picture. They will then jot down why parts in the text are important.
