Exit Ticket Day One

[Cheryl Plainte]

What is one thing you learned today that you will use in your classroom?

What is one question you still have about the information presented today?

[Sheril Simpson]

I learned that the lessons are prescribed for one hour per day. I want more insight on what specific data should be collected during conferences that can be shared with parents.

[Jody M Johnston Vissman]

Today I learned the structure of MAISA Unit 1 which I can incorporate with Daily 5 in my classroom. One question I still have is how do the MAISA units coordinate with the Hair on Fire initiative scope and sequence that Montcalm and Ionia counties have adopted?

[SHELLEY KUIPER]

I will actually use the MAISA units of study this year in my classroom. I would like to know know more about the process of conferring.

1. The overview of the Maisa units and the format of how each of the lessons are all designed.

2. This a personal situatuion, I am teaching a combination of 3rd and 4th grade, so I need info about meshing these two grades. Maybe revisit the last part as I experienced brain overload. ;)

[Brooke VanRhee]

Just one? I like the idea of creating workshop norms with the kids. I loved taking part in an actual reader's workshop. I have a much clearer picture of how it all fits together. I am very interested to learn more about conferring and tracking student growth and progress.

Today I learned more about the workshop structure. Mini lessons should be about ten minutes:) I am looking forward to learning more about conferring and assessment.

[Adrienne Baker]

I enjoyed learning about the procedures that supplement the workshop model. I especially like the three-minute-writes for reflection.

Do you have any suggestions for tailoring conferencing to standards? We have standards-based report cards, so many teachers struggle with wanting a hard copy of an assessment, saying, "Yes, this student has mastered this skill, as you can see on this paper..." I've been told that we should rely on conferencing instead of hard copy assessments...

[Rebecca Scaccia]

One thing I will take with me from today is the use of profundity specifically when conferencing with students. One question I still have is how can I help improve my students learn to love reading.

[Lisa M. Ashlin]

The one thing that I learned today was how to utilize profundity in the narrative units as well as other things.

The one question I still have is: How do we deal with the challenges of kids getting of task especially with 10 minute mini lesson?

[Jana Hazekamp]

Format of a reading workshop, profundity, and ideas for some new read alouds/mentor texts.

How/when do you work with struggling readers related to decoding? Outside the reading workshop time?
