Action Items
-Maximize instruction time
-Every instructional choice is geared toward students meeting end of year assessment goals (SOL, PALS)
-Scuba not water ski (go deep; dont skim)
-Tap into the excitement that the students have with the words on the Morning Show. There is an entry point for all grade levels to break down the words, the roots, the prefixes, the suffixes, syllables and even alphabetic knowledge. These skills are assessed, but they also help make better readers.
Students in Fiona Crawshaw's class were finding prefixes, suffixes, and roots in their reading and posting them on the chart.
The Sanford team at the ExCELL training in front of our writing. We look forward to sharing the strategies we learned.
Another writing strategy from Dr. Margerita Calderon to target specific writing skills.
