ALGravelle13 Apr 25 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Q1 The only thing they really have choice in currently is their independent reading book. #LearnLAP

MollyBabcock Apr 25 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: Independent reading is all their choice. They also make their own observations and define genres in genre study. #learnlap

teach1991 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@ALGravelle13 Not just my ideas!! Everyone's. Great PLN! #LearnLAP

@tweetjre short shopping list tonight, so there's that...:) #learnlap

ALGravelle13 Apr 25 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1- Some1 decided 3rd grade was the "make it or break it year" and w only 60 min for reading, it's hard to get in much choice. #LearnLAP

teach1991 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Already overwhelmed and trying to keep up! HA! #LearnLAP

katy_boehm11 Apr 25 @ 8:06 PM EDT

independent books, lit circle books and evidence for demonstrating mastery of learning. #LearnLAP

PrincipalSmart Apr 25 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1 My 6th grade students almost always choose their own reading material and have a voice in the books I read aloud as well. #LearnLAP

ALGravelle13 Apr 25 @ 8:07 PM EDT

I also moved from 2nd to 3rd this year which is a bigger jump than you'd think. #LearnLAP

Christineah88 Apr 25 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: Ss choose book titles, as well as personal learning goals.We do Daily 5, so they choose to read w/someone, by themselves etc #learnlap

MrssmithOP220 Apr 25 @ 8:07 PM EDT

#LearnLAP A1 Ss have SSR- Self selected reading- find a book and create a review using any tech they want! Amazing outcome!

mrskochheiser Apr 25 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1) Ss in my classroom get to select all their personal independent reading books; they also vote on my read aloud; #LearnLAP

@tweetjre We did this at my school! The kids loved it! #learnlap #WINNERWINNER https://t.co/cmIFL7N5jL

Allowing the students to pic one book and do a report on that book at some point during the year to give them initiative #LearnLAP

Mr_Ullman Apr 25 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 book choice, meeting location, discussion topic (w/in reason) #learnlap

StefaniePitzer Apr 25 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Ss select books and spot to sit! They also have a focus strategy but encouraged/supported to practice several of their choice! #LearnLAP

Jmitch462 Apr 25 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 Where is a given; I mix it up between self selected & guided reading. Choices of blogging vs. discussing are norms. #LearnLAP

cindy_galasso Apr 25 @ 8:08 PM EDT

#LearnLAP A1: Ss choose their own independent reading books, vote on class read alouds, and also established their own reading goals

Christineah88 Apr 25 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@tweetjre can you explain March Madness? #LearnLAP

thedevineone Apr 25 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 Kids pick bks for bk chat, pick grps, plan days to chat, plan out how they show mastery of bk. They read it on their schedule. #LearnLAP

teach1991 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@MollyBabcock Do you use Donalyn Miller or Fountas and Pinnell genre resources? #LearnLAP

I mean every YEAR** #LearnLAP @ALGravelle13 @Christineah88 @tweetjre

Christineah88 Apr 25 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@katy_boehm11 Good point! I didn't think of location as a choice, but it definitely expands an element of freedom! #LearnLAP

Mrs_Donaway Apr 25 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: My students have the option to choose their own book, as long as it is within the genre that we are studying #LearnLAP

charrod Apr 25 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1 Also where they sit, who they work with, mini-lessons, goals. We are exploring personalized learning and loving it. #LearnLAP

ARutschke Apr 25 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: Choice in books in book club& independent reading, choice in how to demonstrate learning, blogs refections, roles in club #LearnLAP

I seriously really dislike RW this year, so I'm hoping y'all will help renew excitement over reading! #LearnLAP

@teach1991 I do my own version but definitely influenced by both Donalyn and F&P #learnlap

we don't have reading workshop per se, but students have choice in how to they demonstrate learning #learnlap

mrskochheiser Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@PrincipalSmart Yes! I'm sometimes surprised at the read aloud they vote on because I think they'll go one way, but they don't #LearnLAP

Christineah88 Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@BarkerEmilyG We do something similar w/a reading wheel. It has different genres and kids choose throughout the year for reports #learnlap

mrsevon1 Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Love giving Ss Choice Boards to show their learning/thinking! #LearnLAP https://t.co/kLRkf00KfJ

cindy_galasso Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

#LearnLAP I would like to have students sign up a strategy group of their choice one and awhile, in addition to those I place them in

Mrs_Donaway Apr 25 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Also, they choose their own groups so that they at least can find common interest among each other when actually choosing #LearnLAP

Q2 Assessment in a student-led reading workshop. #LearnLAP https://t.co/4VmQ3X6DjI

charrod Apr 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Doing a narrative unit in writing. Students chose a companion book in their chosen genre to better understand writer's craft. #LearnLAP

PrincipalSmart Apr 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@mrskochheiser Yes, I know and sometimes I am describing a book that I have read and they will want me to read it to them. #LearnLAP

BarkerEmilyG Apr 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@Christineah88 That is such a cool idea! Is it an actual wheel that they turn randomly or do they choose? #LearnLAP

StefaniePitzer Apr 25 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@ALGravelle13 Donalyn Miller is a must read: The Book Whisperer & Reading in the Wild! Also Regie Routmann in residence series #LearnLAP

mandymtaylor Apr 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@teach1991 @ALGravelle13 @donalynbooks Agree- it will empower you and your kids and renew joy. Also check out @pernilleripp blog. #learnlap

charrod Apr 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Students are given "I Can" statements. As they are reading, they must document evidence that they have mastered t/standard. #LearnLAP

MollyBabcock Apr 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Most of our assessment is done during guided reading groups. Running records and independent conferences w/ind. texts #learnlap

MrssmithOP220 Apr 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#LearnLAP A2 In 2nd grade we use the same graphic organizer but different books. The organizers can differentiate and unite all range.

teach1991 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@MrssmithOP220 Sounds awesome. I also like the idea of spontaneous book talks/buzzes. :-) #LearnLAP

MentorTextCentr Apr 25 @ 8:13 PM EDT

March Book Madness is a "play-off" - like basketball. Bracket books are advanced to final round. https://t.co/z5DlLW39nA #LearnLAP

thedevineone Apr 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2 Book chats, informal conferences, reading responses, book talks, any ideas kids come up with to show mastery. #LearnLAP

Jmitch462 Apr 25 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@CPRoom211 @Jmitch462 @seesaw Can you explain Seesaw? #learnlap

Christineah88 Apr 25 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@BarkerEmilyG Didn't think about it turning. It's a wheel split into sections labeled w/different genres. kids choose the order #LearnLAP

Mrs_Donaway Apr 25 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: I LOVE using Depth and Complexity task cards to assess learning and comprehension. Cards are easy to fit to any book #LearnLAP

A2 Essays and reports seem like a great way to see what the student got out of the book they read #LearnLAP

mrskochheiser Apr 25 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2) Informal conversations, they Kidblog, make book recommendations; use @padlet for stop & jot (write about what they've read) #LearnLAP

MrssmithOP220 Apr 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@ARutschke My Ss would write Summaries & Reviews of fav books. Media Spec. would post on Lib. web page! #LearnLAP https://t.co/iahnSdSDzv

ARutschke Apr 25 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@PegGrafwallner It seems to help Ss find books too! They like to read books recommended by their peers & then talk about them😊 #LearnLAP

@ARutschke My ss choose day they will meet/how much they will read. They are honest and tend to want time for their ind. book too. #LearnLAP

mrskochheiser Apr 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A7) Personalized vocabulary walls (digital like google docs/padlet) based on books Ss are reading; share words like sharing books #LearnLAP

Mrs_Donaway Apr 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A7: Make Ss responsible for their own vocab, expose to new words and promote the use of those words across the curriculum #LearnLAP

charrod Apr 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A7: Going out on a limb: The only way for vocabulary development to be truly authentic is if it is personalized for each student. #LearnLAP

ARutschke Apr 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@teach1991 @Christineah88 My Ss choose which ones want to fill each role that session #LearnLAP

froehlichm Apr 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 Read. Find unknown words. Define. Think of other ways they could be used in daily life. Create excitement for a larger vocab. #learnlap

charrod Apr 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7: Our work is to discover how to teach students how to identify vocab they don't know and cultivate a desire to know. #LearnLAP

teach1991 - Moderator Apr 25 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@froehlichm @charrod Great! Thanks for sharing. Still figuring out how to organize it. May ask ss to help plan logistics. :-) #LearnLAP

Christineah88 Apr 25 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@charrod @hannahbhill Just hoping they are not moving towards a reading program. :-( #LearnLAP

MollyBabcock Apr 25 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A7: You learn one vocab word you actually learn so many more w/roots, pref. suff. etc. Some students see every word in isolation #learnlap

charrod Apr 25 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@teach1991 @froehlichm I hear you. I know WHAT needs to be done but haven't yet figured out HOW it needs to be done. #LearnLAP
