- 10 for 10 Picture Books to support word learning
- Mapping the Course gathering fun words and setting up notebooks
- Fun with Greeting Cards enjoying word play
- Building Word Work in the classroom
- Word Play is Crucial to word learning
To encourage wordsmiths to think about vocabulary differently throughout our day I weave conversations about word learning into every subject.
- Discussing expectations: What do you notice about the word expectations?
- Sharing our #ClassroombBookaDay What words did you hear that you liked or were new to you?
- Math: I notice the word operations have multiple meanings?
- Science: What happens when you compare science to scientist?
- Writing: Look at my summer writing, what do you notice about my word choice?
My goal is to create new expectations and shift their thinking about word study. I promise I will have more than five learners enjoying word work after the first month of school, and I will have the data to support it.

Thanks for all the links to other blog posts you've written (that's the best kind of spotlight)! I'm definitely going to do that survey and see how the data changes over the course of the year!
ReplyDeleteFunny never considered this post a spotlight. Let's compare data
