This would be another great method to use for Vocabulary instruction. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076585 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076585 Thu, 08 Jun 2023 14:10:23 -0400 I am excited to try using Flipgrid this year! I love the idea of using it to share vocabulary discoveries! https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076570 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076570 Thu, 08 Jun 2023 14:06:56 -0400 My kids seem to internalize vocabulary best when it comes from their own experiences/reading. I wish all vocab instruction could happen organically, rather than choosing words for our students. https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076569 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347781?scroll_to=3076569 Fri, 09 Jun 2023 15:12:46 -0400 Being self-contained, I wonder if it would be best to use our Writer's Notebook across content areas instead of having separate notebooks for science, math, and writing workshop? I would love to hear more about your math notebook! https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075006 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075006 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 14:22:24 -0400 This was a game changer for my third graders. Students read their pieces aloud to themselves in a whisper phone. You can see on their faces when something doesn't make sense. Such a great strategy! https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075005 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075005 Wed, 07 Jun 2023 20:58:49 -0400 This is where I need to improve! Taking the time to model the stages of the writing process and use the vocabulary regularly, especially REVISING (they just want to be done after drafting). https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075004 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075004 Mon, 05 Jun 2023 10:58:27 -0400 Publishing https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075003 https://nowcomment.com/documents/347388?scroll_to=3075003 I would love some ideas on publishing with my third graders. We typically share our final pieces but I would love to hear other ideas on how to publish using technology. Tue, 06 Jun 2023 10:45:08 -0400
