Hi! Anne, 8th grade math teacher at FMS. Joining via Tweetdeck, as I am currently at a community garden board meeting. Love the literacy focus and connections in #D100Inspires! Looking forward to reading up on this #d100chat later.
A1: Support readers in comprehension by learning about their interests, teaching them how to pick books that are Just Right, and showing them strategies to use during reading to help them tackle text #d100chat
A1. We can support our readers by giving them a specific goal to work towards. Once they know the goal, they can practice a variety of strategies that work best for them. Guiding students in a small group is as important as letting them work independently. #d100chat#d100inspires
A1: Making meaning is important in math, too. I love #numberlesswp from @bstockus, which gradually introduce the quantities to allow Ss space to make sense of the problem context before rushing to computation. #d100chathttps://t.co/Wkbh49Y3q3
A1: I try to focus on variety. I expose my groups to multiple levels, topics, genres, etc. Modifications and accommodations are then put in place to help them have access to the materials needed both in group and independently. #hiawathapride#d100chat
A1: Giving Ss time to work with both assigned & free choice texts helps transcend the strategies between the two. Teaching w/ selected texts and having Ss practice with their choice of text, we see better comprehension! #bookclubs#personalbookprojects#hmsfalcons#d100chat
A1: I learned from @JSerravallo that subtleties are important so making meaning might come from any nugget of info you get from a Ss. Makes me notice/wonder more, listen more and ask for more from my readers during guided groups #d100chat

A1:By modeling & by exposing them 2 diff genres. Creating opportunities 4 r kiddos 2 fall in love w books, 2 reflect & respond 2 the characters in their books, having them connect their lives 2 the books their reading! Seeing themselves in text is also very powerful! #d100chat
And oh how it builds the life long love of reading! Sharing what we read outside of our classrooms is great way to get the kiddos invested in the same practice! #d100chat
Making reading conferences a norm in the classroom allows for great convos bw Ts and Ss. Talking about their books and their thinking will help both parties understand their reading habits. Would love to see more of this! #D100Chat#hiawathapride#d100inspires
A1 We can help our readers comprehend by using all the resources we have to improve our teaching practice. Here is the 6th Grade ELA CAC using @JSerravallo books to revise our common assessment questions. I was so proud of the work this team did today! #d100chat
Yep, agree! When teachers find a way to create a system for conferring and talking books, it is so much more manageable. I love how @JSerravallo schedules out this conferring each week! #d100chat

A1: Making meaning also requires awareness of our students, their stories, their background knowledge. What can we do as teachers to be aware of that and help to fill in the grey areas. #d100chat.

A1: Students comprehend what they're reading when we connect it to their lives or their prior knowledge. Looking up visuals with them about what their readin also brings the text to life. #d100chat
A2. Using a graphic organizer that represents the way a text is organized has helped many of my students. They have become more successful at figuring out the main idea or lesson of a text. Many have started to create their organizers independently! #d100chat#d100Inspires
A2 Last week I taught a student the "It's okay to tell a little lie in writing" strategy (forgot what you called it!) A few days later, a S who overheard me taught another student, who then called me over and asked, "I can *really lie?" hahhaha "In writing, YES!" :P #d100chat

Hi Bazz, i love listening to Ss reading what they have written. The younger Ss go on and on in telling a story that in their minds they are reading and writing.. :)
#d100chat
A2: Love, love, love the Reading/Writing Strategies Books! A frequent favorite is 8.16 (I think) What? and So What? It's now frequent language to make the Ss go beyond the topic without the Ts saying too much (which we know I can do) #d100chat#hiawathapride
A2: As we dig deep into the argumentative research/writing unit we are incorporating strategies from @JSerravallo's workshops last week and her books! We've recently added writer's notebooks/ folders to help confer with Ss about strengths & struggles! #d100chat#hmsfalcons
A1: I think the support largely depends on the topic covered and the level of the students. However one of the most important things to support comprehension is modeling your thought process, especially in your “less than favorite” genres or topics #d100chat
A2: @MrsGorz & I used the #3Reads strategy from #LearnWithIM to help Ss understand context and question the problem provided before rushing to solve or solving a question that wasn't asked. We hope to explore more Math Language Routines soon! #d100chathttps://t.co/jKAUkvRLee
A2: interesting vs important! Especially with our topic on the Underground Railroad, we have to think about the information we are presented with and actively categorize it while we read! I also love the synonyms and antonyms strategies since vocal is huge in 5th #d100chat
This is so true! I am trying to push myself to read more nonfiction and fantasy books, because they really aren't the books I reach for. They are growing on me! #d100chat

A3:#d100chat. Love the mentor text for opinion writing and 4th grade curriculum is Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type. The ending lets us investigate @KomenskyLions
what persuasive words the Duck would use.

A3 Used an Obama speech on Monday as a mentor to argument writing. Kids noticed: quoting famous people, dialog, showing not telling, giving examples, feelings & call to action at the conclusion. They will use these craft moves in their writing now, TY @JSerravallo#d100chat
Q3: While teaching 7th/8th grade I used poetry mentor texts. William Carlos William's the Red Wheelbarrow was a fun one! (my teaching modeling: So much depends on the pink hair straightener.....) make it relatable! #d100chat#d100inspires#tigerslearn
A3: Not a text but a source! Students are currently studying the documentary @blackfishmovie to formulate evidence supported arguments for animals in captivity. One of 6th grade's FAVORITE unit (teachers and students) #d100chat#hmsfalcons
A3: Haven't tried it yet, but plan on repeating her lesson that she gave us on Institute Day. It revived me in the world of teaching writing. Sometimes I feel I can get so stale in my style during writing. #d100chat
A3: I just picked this up from the library tonight. I'm confident we can tackle this after the @JSerravallo session we had a few weeks ago. Author voice speaks to reader, which pairs well w/ Despereaux @laydenchi#KomenskyMatters#D100chat
A3 I loved doing this with third grade. I told them I was going to teach them how to "Cheat". Read something really well written, then use it as a template for our own writing. #Copytheauthor. #d100chat

A2. So simple, but going back to the text and rereading! Especially informational texts. They need to know it's not a bad thing to have to go back in the text to gain a better understanding. #d100chat
Q4: A HUGE shoutout to @JustJantz for all your support this year! We will miss you now that you are on maternity leave! Enjoy every moment with your baby-to-be! You have helped me grow and learn in my literacy knowledge too:) #d100inspires#d100chat#tigerslearn
TY for visiting us in Berwyn, @JSerravallo. I continue to learn so much from you and be inspired every time I hear you talk. Your work is changing the way our kids grow as readers and writers! #d100chat
TY for all you do to support and lead our team @MrsVulaMath! I know it is a lot to organize and make work for us, and you do it with so much ease! #d100chat
Thank you for always providing the best resources for all our teachers @ATimpe1@hmshauer Looking forward to the culture book clubs coming up in 7th! #d100chat
Ang, loving your conferring group structures you have set up in your B4, your kids will get EVEN MORE more individualized attention now, WTG! #d100chat@MissZuccaro
A4: #D100chat#edujoy is frozen water vapor, frozen bubbles & other viral science experiments I heard all about after last week's #polarvortex. In @BerwynSouth100 parents are apparently science teachers too :)
A4: SO to @MrHarvey_HIA for always going along with my random ideas and shenanigans. As recent as today with our strategy grouping... it doesn't matter how much we plan, when I get an idea...your understanding and flexibility is much appreciated! #edujoy#d100chat
Thank you for your feedback today on my vulnerability blog @Litlovegal1@MrsGorz@samshuman24 You know when you're scared to do something and you do so anyways? It sure helps to know there are people out there who get you! #d100chat
A4 SO to all the Ts who let me steal beautiful nuggets of joy, wisdom and fun from their kiddos, while they learn from each one of you. I may not have my own class any more, but you've shared yours w/me. Gracias
#d100chat
Loved popping into your science plan time @Mrs_Coalson@Mrs_Cleofe the other week. You are so passionate and knowledgeable about your curriculum - wish I had science classes like you are creating for your students! #d100chat
A1: Coming in a little late! Hey there! It is important to start by exposing students to texts 📚 that represent themselves & connect to their lives. Students can bring in their prior knowledge & schema to make meaning. @EmersonD100#d100chat

A4. SO to sketchnoting for keeping my students so engaged during our historic fiction read aloud. 🙏 Also, thank you to whoever taught me about sketchnoting last year as a sub in D100 (I can't remember who it was for the life of me😂) #d100chat
A2: I struggled w/ finding Main Idea of a NF text growing up & learned a strategy to “Notice what Repeats” in the text by writing repeated words on sticky notes & compiling into a 1 sentence MI using only the impt words. Credit to @JennieBless & @JSerravallo 💝 #d100chat
