One more update.
Thanks again for everyone who donated to my students. I couldn’t be more grateful and have never been more moved by the generosity...
Talks about using what you know about yourself as a reader and what you DO as a reader to inform and develop reading curriculum. Bookmarking for this summer, when I (hopefully) backward plan reading for the year.
Love the instructional points that are bulleted here.
Too tired to elaborate anymore tonight, but you should check it out.
Oy, conferring documentation. It is one of the things that I’ve yet to feel even remotely satisfied with. I have a notebook that I keep, but it’s lacking structure. I want to try a new form, but I hate carting around a binder or notebook with forms in it… and somehow I still have yet to try digital documentation for my conferences.
I love these ideas and want to try “going digital”… I just need some coaching on how to utilize Excel in such a way. The only stuff I know about Excel is what I learned in high school (yes, you read that right… I haven’t had much use for it since). Excited to try this, though!
I’ve gone back and forth over when to start trying a new system… On the one hand, I feel that sooner is better, but on the other hand, it feels like a big undertaking. I guess it’s better to try and decide it doesn’t work than to stick with something you’re unhappy with.
I love books like this.
Some theory, which aligns largely with my own (which means I can easily fit ideas from the book into my own classroom).
Breakdowns of the finer points and strategies for easy application in the classroom.
Notebook Connections: Strategies for the Reader’s Notebook by Aimee Buckner. I shall provide a further review after I read more, but so far I’m loving it.
The Bookies is an awesome local bookstore that has an amazing education section. They have education books and resources, and I have a gift certificate.
So, Tumblr buddies:
I’m looking for resources to help me with minilessons for reader’s workshop. What are your favorite resources? Any you’ve heard of or used that look promising?
I teach 3rd grade and have a range of readers (don’t we all?), but I’m really just looking for any good reader’s workshop minilesson resources. At this point, I’m floundering and dread teaching my reading minilessons, so any help or direction would be appreciated. So, spread the knowledge?
