narrative

I'm assuming you mean narrative writing? I think of each unit as 3 parts. In Part 1, my focus is always on generating ideas, planning drafts, and the structure of a genre. My mini lessons would...

Here's some advice on starting up WTW for 2nd grade! It is what has worked for me. For the first 2 months of school, I had every kid on the same sort. This is just so much easier to manage at the...

Yikes! I am so sorry that you're in that position. Trying to put myself in your shoes- balancing what I know is right versus the fear of getting in trouble. Some questions for you: I wonder what the...

Rw

RW is different because ALL kids are doing the same thing at the same time. In k-2, ALL kids do independent reading at the same time and then everyone moves to partner reading (or vice versa). In...

clip charts

I used to do clip charts too...they were minimally effective (I guess? I didn't really think too much about it). But then I became a mom and something about the clip chart just didn't sit well with...

I totally agree that share is so inspiring for kids. So is adding student work samples to your anchor charts. E.g. "Look how Zoe used labels!" Also, asking kids to teach a mini lesson with you is...

number talks

The thing that has helped my kids' fact fluency the most is not timed tests, games, or websites (and I have tried them ALL) but math talks and number strings. We do them for the first 5-10 min of...
