Ladies,
What have you planned for the upcomging week for Writing? Five days? Three days? Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie? Writer's Notebooks? Sound off.. share you plans! I want to think about your classrooms all week and the "starts" that will be happening all over Region 12.
This week in Becky's classroom we will be fine tuning our rules for writing time, getting our writing folders and learning how to put our papers away neatly inside as well as learning how to use the tools (the high freq words and ideas for writing)that is inside the folder so far. We will be learning how writers reread writing from the day before starting a new story and students will be getting a mini-lesson that gives them a writers tool for sounding out words.
Whew- I'm tired already! I hope Becky has her voice back...
Melissa
My voice is coming back slowly and should be really great by Monday! I'm still in the low range but definitely audible!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about the blog this year! The new writers are doing such a great job of sharing! That will really help them as the begin to use what they're learning at institute. You can get so many wonderful ideas from each other, writers, so keep sharing...even when it doesn't go well. That's the best way to learn to do it better!
Ive got it planned for 5 days! Im very excited :) Today I introduced the questions, who are writers, where do the write and dabbled in what do they write about. I sent home a paper bag and asked parents and students to add things to it that held a story to them, so that they can bring it back this week and I can take my notes! I also plan on talking about the pictures of where we get ideas from as well. I've got a space dedicated now to WW on my wall, where I am going to put our anchors when we get to those. Thanks for your teachings Melissa!
