<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">When Beth at <a href="http://thinkingofteaching.blogspot.com/">Thinking of Teaching</a> extended the invitation to be a
co-host of this book study, I immediately volunteered for several reasons.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As many of you know, I switched grade levels
from fourth to first last fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have
spent so much time gathering resources, following blogs, and stalking Pinterest
pinners, all in search of how best to structure my language arts block so that
my students were engaged in meaningful, valuable, participatory
activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>100 Minutes</u> has
provided me with such a solid foundation, that I am prepared to hit the ground
running next year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you to Beth,
for including me, and to author, Lisa Donohue, for providing such a cohesive,
and most importantly, easily incorporable guide. If you missed out on Chpater 5, you can find it at <a href="http://www.dilly-dabbles.com/2014/06/100-minuteschapter-5.html">Dilly Dabbles</a> with Melissa.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The title of my chapter is called,
“Exploring Different Purposes and Audiences.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As I read the chapter, I became increasingly more excited and eager
because Lisa provides us with SPECIFIC examples and suggestions to incorporate
into our writing time which promote student engagement and creativity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ultimately, with her structure in place, the
teacher is able to establish a foundation on which students can begin to build their
writing pieces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Lisa first reminds us that we must teach
our students to identify two components before beginning a writing
piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First, we must identify our
target audience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next, we determine the
purpose of our writing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With these two
identifications in place, students are then guided through several steps within
each text type.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Using Writing Prompts: </span></u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students should be given time to discuss writing
prompts prior to the actual pencil to paper activity occurring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students need time to talk and practice oral
language skills in order to generate meaningful, thoughtful ideas in which to
base their writing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teachers should take
time to get to know his/her students’ interests so that prompts are relevant,
engaging, and stimulating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Topic input
should be sought from the class.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Students should also be provided choice of what topics he or she wishes
to explore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Younger children may be
given a few choices, where as it would be more appropriate to provide older
students with a greater number.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ideas
can be stored on index cards or in a convenient, accessible area of the
classroom.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Write to Reflect: </span></u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students are provided time to reflect on a
non-fiction event in which they had a personal experience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Generally, they must provide an account in a
sensible, chronological order and determine the significance and personal impact
the event had on them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lisa provides
several key questions a teacher may use to guide reflective student writing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students are guided to include sensory
details and vivid descriptions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Write to Entertain:</span></u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Writing to entertain is the story telling
writing genre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here, students experiment
with voice, character development, style, emotional cues, perspective, and word
smithing. Lisa suggests using story building apps and graphic organizers to
assist in properly constructing a well-structured story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this type of writing, we need to remind
students to capture the attention of the audience, provide conflict and
resolution, and use sequencing words for clarity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Write to Inform:</span></u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This writing type is the report writing that
we all do in some form.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are reminded
to review with students the different sources of information, how to site
works, how to organize ideas, and how to cross reference or check for
accuracy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students must be able to
include an introduction of the topic, relevant supporting information, and a
conclusion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, sequencing should
be logical and supportive of the chosen topic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Quotations should be included when appropriate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Write to Convince:</span></u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we write to convince, we want to
persuade the reader to agree with our viewpoint based on what we write.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students should be taught how to clearly
state their opinion, use evidence to support their claim, and use proper
organization and sources throughout the writing piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This type of writing is more formal in tone
and should include a counter point if possible.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Lisa Donohue provides essential questions
for each writing type in this chapter and also includes graphic organizers and
writing prompt cards appropriate for many different ages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teachers can easily modify the content and
structure of the resources she has provided.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Goals:</span></u><span style="font-family: Boopee; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now that I have a clear picture of what each writing purpose/audience
looks like, it is time to bust out the binders and dividers and populate them
with Lisa’s suggested prompts and organizers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I would also like to do a side by side comparison of Lisa’s suggestions
and my grade level CCSS to determine how best to start next year and
determine sequence and cross curricular incorporation of writing standards into
science and social studies to get the most out of each precious moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Apple Chancery'; font-size: 16pt;">I'm linking up with Christina over at <a href="http://secondgradesugarandspice.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #0000e9;">Sugar and Spice</span></a> for Wordless Wednesday. Here is a frustration I have had for 14 years! How do I "select all" and "copy" my students' names so that I can get as many possible on a page. When I have tried in the past, I always end up copying every name on one label. Clearly, I don't know how to do this! I print on one end and then turn it around and print on the other end! Help</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;">! </span></div>

Hi Friends,<br />
<br />
I am teaming up with some fellow bloggers to participate in a new book study. Beth from <a href="http://thinkingofteaching.blogspot.com/">Thinking of Teaching</a> selected <u>100 Minutes: Making Every Minute Count in the Literacy Block</u> by Lisa Donohue.<br />
<br />
I was really excited to get my hands on this book because it offers many ways to structure the literacy block that aren't Daily 5 based.
I think Daily 5 is fabulous and jumped on board with it when I switched from fourth to first grade this year. I struggled with the management and upkeep. I put it on the back burner until I could reread the book and relaunch the program. That was in September! Do you think I have relaunched? Um, no.
<br />
<br />
I will be hosting one chapter and I will also be offering a mini give away of my own. My TpT shop is still "under development," so I am still figuring out what I will put up for grabs!
Head on over to <a href="http://thinkingofteaching.blogspot.com/">Thinking of Teaching</a> to learn all about this exciting book study and enter to win some cool stuff!
<br />
<br />
Happy Reading!
<br />
<br />
Erin

We are putting the final touches on our Peeps experiment
write up, so I thought I would share what we did for art the week before
Easter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was feeling rather guilty that we didn’t do an egg hunt
this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We aren’t allowed to have
candy or sweets, and I didn’t have a spring party, so I got to thinking, “What
can we do that is exciting, free, and engaging?’’<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My next-door neighbor and teacher friend was doing this
really cool, intricate art project based on <u>Rechenka’s Eggs</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Based on what I could see that was going on
at the picnic tables outside our classrooms, there was some coloring and some
black watercolor painting going on, monitored by a bunch a sweet parent
volunteers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever it was, it looked
amazing, but I didn’t have the expertise or the manpower to pull it off!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> Enter Jan Brett’s </span><u style="text-align: center;">The Easter Egg</u><span style="text-align: center;"> book.</span><span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">We are big Jan Brett fans in my room, and the
kids are always up for listening to one of her stories, always paying close
attention to the beautiful illustrations.</span><span style="text-align: center;">
</span><span style="text-align: center;">I am equally in awe. After
finishing our book. I knew what we would
do!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I gathered some white construction paper, oil pastels, markers, and a
whole bunch of Q-tips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I taught
fourth grade for a zillion years, I was certain that the firsties would also
know the baby oil meets oil pastel trick. Boy, was I wrong!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were mesmerized by the magical abilities
of the oil!<o:p></o:p></div>

Hi Friends,<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m popping in to talk Peeps!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last week, we jumped on the Peeps experiment
bandwagon to see what would happen when we dunked our fluffy
friends into five different liquids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We started off by watching a Brain Pop Jr. clip to review
the scientific method. We are very fortunate to have a hands-on science lab at
my site. The kids visit the lab every
other week to participate in experiments run by a credentialed elementary
science teacher. She chooses experiments
that support the units we cover in class.
She teaches a lesson for K-5
classes every day with only a five minute break/prep in between. To clarify,
she teaches kindergarten and then they leave. Then,
she has five minutes to set up for first grade, and then we come. After we leave, second grade comes. Did I
mention how lucky we are?</div>

The kids are very familiar with lab procedures so we started by posing our question, “What liquid will make the Peeps dissolve the quickest?” This question kinda bugged me because I am not sure if it’s grammatically correct…Maybe it should say, “….dissolve the most quickly?” I.D.K.

Students predicted if water, vinegar, soda, juice, or laundry soap would be the most efficient liquid to dissolve the Peeps. I surveyed the class and we tallied our answers on a white board. Next, I passed out a labeled bowl of each liquid to my table groups. Since I have five groups of six kids at each table, the student who did not have a bowl was the supply monitor. He or she was in charge of passing out the Peeps. After each child had a Peep in hand, we gently placed each one into the liquids. We made a quick observation of the color of the water upon starting the experiment and we noted that all Peeps started out purple.</div>

Fast forward 24 hours. Within those 24 hours, we learned a few things. Not only did some of the liquids dissolve the Peeps, they also dissolved the bowls I used. I would have preferred to have used the hard, clear, plastic cups, but alas, the random bowls I had on hand were super appealing because they were free!! After placing the leaky bowls onto plates, we noticed that two of the Peeps (at the same table, mind you) had completing disintegrated. What in the world? We did some deductive reasoning and quickly concluded that there had been some Peeps tampering. Two sweet students “Pillsbury Dough Boy-ed” the Peeps’ bellies into ity bity bits of floating mallows.<br />

After the mangled mallows were discarded, we got back to business. I had a representative from each table group bring the bowls up to the document camera. We displayed each bowl-o-Peep and I gave the kids a few minutes to discuss their observations. I recorded a “share” from each table group to be used later, during our lab write-up. Lastly, I passed out the Peeps recording sheet. Each student drew a picture of the Peeps after 24 hours of being submerged in the liquids. They also recorded whether or not their prediction was correct. Luckily for me, most of us were wrong. In our experiment, the laundry soap, not the soda, caused the Peeps to dissolve the quickest. My heart is full of relief and love as I can now go about drinking my Diet Coke in peace, knowing that my stomach lining is safe.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Hi friends!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As I enjoy the last few days of Spring Break, I would like
to take a few moments to introduce myself and share some tidbits about my life,
my teaching background, and my goals.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I live in sunny Southern California with my family, my
toothless dog, my tailless cat, and my American Bull Dog puppy that is
currently my favorite thing on the planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am sure she will make it into many a blog post story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have taught at the same school since 2000,
with thirteen of those years spent in fourth grade.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last year, I did some soul searching and lots
of reflection, and decided it was time for a change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked to transition to first grade, and
here I am today, the teacher of 31 bright, funny, caring, insightful, and
energetic six and seven year olds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
have a wonderful new team, and still get to visit with my old teammates each
day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When I am not working, I am constantly seeking out new
knowledge, adventures, and creative outlets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Last summer, I discovered river rafting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hello?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where has that been all my
life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This summer, we are headed to
Hawaii, and zip lining is on the itinerary for sure!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is an understatement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Reading is such a crucial, vital, living part
of my world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of my memories are
associated with what book I was reading at the time the memory was made.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When my son was born, I was reading <u>A
Hundred Years of Solitude </u>in the hospital!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I also have a passion for making quilts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I love art and creativity and quilting is a necessary outlet for me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Fun Facts about Me<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-I can’t stand any type of melon, but I make myself try them
every summer, just in case.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-I really struggle with exercise and drinking water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My esthetician told me I wasn’t making water-drinking
fun enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Seriously?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-I am a chronic binge T.V. series watcher.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-When I travel, I have to start the trip with a newly
purchased, unopened toothbrush.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bringing
the one from home grosses me out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-I am an only child.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-I want to go to Italy and France and see all the
cathedrals.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
-I need to shed some pounds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again. Sigh…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Goals for the Blog<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love writing and I also love teaching, so blogging is a
natural marriage of the two.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
throwing my hat into the blogging ring to share strategies that have worked for
me, to communicate insights I have had that may resonate with others, and to
reach out and seek the friendship of my fellow teachers world wide.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am starting to develop products for
Teachers Pay Teachers in hopes of being helpful to others in my field.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also plan on discussing books related to
education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully, my summaries and
commentaries will pique your interest in an education-based topic. <u>The Read
Aloud Handbook</u> is first up on the docket.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thanks for popping in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I am off to figure out how to participate in linkies and all that bloggy
stuff!<o:p></o:p></div>
