Most weeks I am feeling like I missing someone or something important! I like the idea of asking the writer. as Sally said the kids always know. Just the other day I had a student request direction from me in math workshop…hmmm. <br />I am wondering…<br />Did you have a rush of kids when you started this system? <br />Are the number of request reasonable? <br />Is there an expectation of how quickly you will confer? <br />Once again thanks for spinning my wheels!

The other part I love about this post is without it I would not be able to have a glimmer into your classroom and ever time I do I learn something new.

I may actually - and this will really make you laugh - think about starting with it math. I'd like students to take more ownership of this learning and be more articulate about what they're working toward. This might be easier if they are telling me how I can help them? <br /><br />I'd really love to hear more about your strategy groups in writing. I hope you'll post about those too.<br /><br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-65704675178291381642014-03-02T10:27:06.274-05:002014-03-02T10:27:06.274-05:00I love seeing how others take an idea from a chat ...I love seeing how others take an idea from a chat online and put it to use in their classrooms.

I think it will be really helpful to a lot of our teachers, particularly our upper grade and middle school teachers. I'm going to share the link with folks at my school!

I think...Hi Karen, I really enjoyed reading this... I think we often tell our students that they are writers but this really goes that extra step to empowering them to be actively thinking about it, how they can utilize you and the community of writers around them and really highlighting the role revision can play... Something I also use is having them suggest mini groups that they need and have them sign up... Looking forward to hearing more about your teaching!nfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15020807064127764305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-43387877783038732582014-03-02T09:34:27.202-05:002014-03-02T09:34:27.202-05:00What a great way to give your students more owners...What a great way to give your students more ownership and control as they write!<br />Michelle<br /><a href="http://bigtimeliteracy.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">BigTime Literacy</a>Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181911443250232670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-88641868524377680312014-03-02T09:32:28.719-05:002014-03-02T09:32:28.719-05:00This really makes me think about writing and readi...This really makes me think about writing and reading conferences. I'm the one scheduling them and I see every student equally, but maybe that isn't what they need? Hmm. I will have to think further on this - love the idea.

YOU very simply showed me a HUGH tip - just ASK the writers!! This reminds me that whenever something isn't working in the classroom, I need to just ask the students. THEY often have the perfect answer!! My colleague interned in Kristi's K room in the Fall and I got to visit this amazing teacher's classroom for 1 hour!! So glad you could learn from her, too.
