FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Q2: R. Workshop begins with a mini lesson. what would that mini lesson look like in your classroom? #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat #3rdchat Me, too. Now I wish the high school would adopt it as well. My teen D no longer reads or writes for fun.

WiseDad_Games Oct 26 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@mindi_r @FirstAtBat Sorry to hear this....a shame. #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q2: Looking forward to having a picture of what 3rd grade reading block looks like compared to 2nd. #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat #3rdchat We use mix of strategies and literary elements. Thinking aloud & modeling HUGE in the mini lesson.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:12 PM EDT

So, if you're not doing R. Workshop. what mini lesson would you place in the instruction piece? #3rdchat

I have seen it done as a skill lesson. Teacher does a quick mini lesson of for ex: main idea. #3rdchat

TriciaWathke Oct 26 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: chatted with some Ts who just started using it, they're having a hard time getting everything in like the book says they should #3rdchat

kellyzoucha Oct 26 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Q3: I do mini lessons of comp reading strategies, like inference get is coming up. #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@kellyzoucha Mine is a mini lesson followed by independent work time. I pull small groups & confer. Sharing at the end. #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@WiseDad_Games Found it! #3rdchat https://t.co/GzVUorPmTq

@TriciaWathke It takes practice and time. I don’t get everything in every day. I look for balance across a week. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

My "bible" for reader's workshop has always been Reading with Meaning by Debbie Miller. #3rdchat

WiseDad_Games Oct 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@MrsPug1 Want to give this an extra 10 hearts SO CUTE! #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat #3rdchat I taught mid. school for 22 years before switching to 3rd this year. My bible was In the Middle by Nancie Atwell. :-)

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q3: After a mini lesson, there is independent time. What role does the T have during independent time? #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat #3rdchat The first thing I do is stand back and observe. Who is getting right to work? Who’s stuck? Who do I need to confer w?

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

It can be a big change for some people. Almost feel like you're not doing enough. But it is so powerful! #3rdchat https://t.co/CuCpP6iYuJ

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@TriciaWathke It takes practice and time. I don’t get everything in every day. I look for balance across a week. #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Great book! It's been a while since I've opened it though. Will have to reread. #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#3rdchat I usually pull at least one invitational small group (we don’t use guided reading) and then confer with as many S as I can.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A3: I travel and confer. I take notes and check for comprehension. I might have them read a short bit and share their thought. #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat @triciawathke This is the truth! Stick it out and see the changes in the kids (and yourself as a teacher). Good stuff! #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

ALWAYS my favorite. #3rdchat https://t.co/W8b9pyaNc5

@FirstAtBat Great book! It's been a while since I've opened it though. Will have to reread. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A3: differentiated small group with other Ss so they can be in centers and not all ind. work at same time. Helps with engagement #3rdchat

spiraledu Oct 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat #3rdchat So I'm still confused. Teacher models reading aloud? and then students read aloud/independently?

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@spiraledu When I talk about modeling, I’m modeling my thinking. How am I approaching a strategy or a piece of text. #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I would think the Teacher's job during the workshop would be to confer with students, review 1on1 or small group #3rdchat

Heather21632415 Oct 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1 I have no experience with R workshop yet. Want to try #makingmeaning program but money💰 is the hold up #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

I have found 1 to 1 during independent practice is also so powerful. #3rdchat

WiseDad_Games Oct 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Does anybody use IRLA? #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@Heather21632415 #3rdchat You don’t need a program. Trust yourself as a teacher. Lots of professional books on the model to help!

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q4: During ind practice, what role do the Ss have? How do you hold them accountable? #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:22 PM EDT

When doing some research to topic better I came across: https://t.co/tVKaLb0S9v Might help those who have never used it #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:22 PM EDT

#3rdchat A4: My students have “Must dos” and “May dos”. They make a plan and then complete a reflection at the end to show what they did.

spiraledu Oct 26 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@MrsAlligood13 So do students read aloud to each other in small groups or silently by themself? Or just switch it up depending? #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:23 PM EDT

#3rdchat I have worked hard this year to help my kids learn to make wise choices about their workshop time. They’re getting there.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A4: My Ss are reading in their ZPD..books of choice. After modeling, I want them recording thought. I am checking in. #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@spiraledu @MrsAlligood13 #3rdchat My kids mostly read silently to themselves, though sometimes buddy read. It depends on goals.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Once they are strong and on task, I do allow reading together. But they have to be ready. #3rdchat https://t.co/PWNXsGEldE

@mindi_r never easy, but so rewarding for them to see progress as year goes on! #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:24 PM EDT

My goal is for them to have book clubs, reading and thinking together. If they choose. #3rdchat

kellyzoucha Oct 26 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: I add a writing component like padlet or blog for accountability. My strug Ss I make sure to meet with & provide scaffolding #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I also allow choice in where they sit/lay. I want the reading to be rewarding and enjoyable. #3rdchat Abuse it, lose it

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A4: Ss role differs depending on task, but problem solving and finding ways to apply skills/strategies, also analyzing text with Qs #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I'm seeing that some of my teaching already models this. Teaching a small lesson, then I break into workstations. Very similar #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q5: How do Ss choose books for their independent reading? #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@kellyzoucha me too! Love tech as accountability piece, Ss do too! #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@kellyzoucha My Ss love to use @padlet and @EasyblogDotOrg to write! They complain when using pencil & beg to use either of these! #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@MrsAlligood13 because you're awesome! 💗#3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

#3rdchat A5: We do not level our libraries, and kids do not know their reading level. They can choose any book from CR or such. library.

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A5 I don't limit my Ss to a level. I teach "Good Fit books" but I want them enjoying reading and I don't want to put them in a box #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Ideally, I like a 2 hr block. One hr focused in skill building. Sadly, don't have that and it is a struggle. #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

#3rdchat Though we do talk about stretch books and “dessert” books. They need a balance in their book bins.

TriciaWathke Oct 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A5: I use STAR results to have them grab 2 on-level books plus one above and one below that level. #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@MrsAlligood13 #3rdchat That’s the philosophy in my district as well. Let them choose. Let them read.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A5: I do like to give my Ss a range...I want them to be practicing in an appropriate level. #3rdchat

28dianeb Oct 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A5: Let them choose what THEY want to read! Usually they make an appropriate book level choice. :) #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A6: For teaching, I want deep books. I want them to struggle slightly with the comprehension and bring out those strategies. #3rdchat

@kellyzoucha @FirstAtBat me too! Would love to know more about this! #3rdchat

@FirstAtBat guessing its like a salespitch "I just read the best book" (My S do this w/ library books so the same books circulate) #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:39 PM EDT

#3rdchat I often ask “What did you try as a reader or a writer that was new?” We integrate our reading & writing workshops.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A7: Or I might bring back a skill or strategy we are working on. How did _____ help you as a reader today? #3rdchat

A6. Is the share time kinda like share time during Guided Math? #3rdchat https://t.co/axLV2HGEbn

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A6: We sit in a circle and listen to one another. Ss share what they did during ind practice. It is one of the most powerful parts. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A7: exit tickets, discussions, or writing that refer back to objective/EQ for lesson #3rdchat

Q7: At the end of workshop, there is a share time. What would this look like? #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Q8: What do you think the benefits of the share time are? #3rdchat

ungermath Oct 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Any suggestions on how to help students understand 4x3 is 4 groups of 3, 4 rows of 3, etc. and not 3 groups of 4? #elemmathchat #3rdchat

MrsKendallBerry Oct 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

#3rdchat should proofread before I tweet. Lol. Where is the edit button?!? Lol

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@ungermath I always taught them that the multiplication sign says "groups of" or "rows of": 4 x3 = 4 groups of 3, 4 rows of 3 #3rdchat

TriciaWathke Oct 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A8: accountability, creating a community of readers, sharing a love of reading #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A8: Hearing the other Ss as models is incredible. I am not sure why...but I have seen it over and over. #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A8 Ss are open to different views, opinions. Creates more thinking or diff thinking. Inspire one another. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@ungermath x represents "groups of" is how I explain it. Model with manipulatives or draw to show difference #3rdchat

kellyzoucha Oct 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A8: reflection, modeling for other Ss, accountability, voice #3rdchat

MrsKendallBerry Oct 26 @ 9:46 PM EDT

One of my teammates have been letting them share out the read aloud question on @TodaysMeet #3rdchat

A8: It teaches them to listen and build on each other's thoughts. We celebrate their growth and thought. That is motivating. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@MrsKendallBerry I do this all the time! No worries! Lol #3rdchat

ms_maclean Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat thanks for this excellent reminder. I've got to get more student voice time at end of reading time not just at start #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A8: building connections as classmates and with content! #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A8: It shows we value their thinking. They bring their post it notes, notebooks that tracked their thinking and share it out. #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@ungermath We put our arms out and "row" the boat to remember rows and stand straight like a pole for columns. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT

This whole chat is a reminder to me of how I love this model, and need to keep it where it belongs. #3rdchat https://t.co/OJ05PVTJdc

If they are recording their thinking and have a chance to share it, it makes it so much more meaningful. #3rdchat Not just a task #3rdchat

Q9: How do you keep a record of the 3 pieces of a workshop? #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A9: Anchor charts are so important in the mini lesson. It gives them that "anchor" to go back to...and you. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A9: I use an old plan book to keep records of conferencing. The boxes are perfect for notes. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A9: I like training Ss to use post it notes. If they are using text they can write on, we do that. #3rdchat

A9: anchor charts are great, also interactive notebook 📓 entries #3rdchat

TriciaWathke Oct 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Is there an assessment component in reading workshop? #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A9 I'm not sure exactly but I'm thinking Anchor charts, INBs, possibly padlets etc. #3rdchat

ms_maclean Oct 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Authentic audience. A chance to come together at end of reading time will be quick and meaningful. #3rdchat https://t.co/oNd9u1fEXz

Not formal. But my conferencing informs my teaching for sure. #3rdchat https://t.co/tajz5Go3Un

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A9 Could also be in form of blog or other type of tech piece. #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@TriciaWathke I assess during individual conferences, and I also have students turn writing about reading in for me to read. #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:57 PM EDT

To close, any pitfalls/problems/solutions? #3rdchat

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Lack of time, expectations from outside my room are some of the pitfalls. #3rdchat I just make it the best I can. But it isn't the best.

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:58 PM EDT

#3rdchat Teaching in a workshop model is hard work, but it’s good work. The difference I see in students is night & day. Stick with it.

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@ungermath Was just thinking. Maybe tell them rows and pretend they are boats. 4 rows of 3 = 4 boats with 3 in each-like canoes).😉 #3rdchat

MrsPug1 - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@ungermath Have never tried that though! #3rdchat

mindi_r Oct 26 @ 9:59 PM EDT

#3rdchat It also helps if you have another person in your building to talk with and learn alongside. It’s hard to be an island.

FirstAtBat - Moderator Oct 26 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Thanks for coming tonight. I loved chatting about this. It was good for me to hear! #3rdchat
