Oral Writing Kindergarten Style

When I say my kinders are loving oral writing it is an understatement!!! They are crazy about it. This is a short video of our oral writing time this morning during whole group. I love that this is really caring over throughout the day. They are doing so well I am loving it. I have been a huge WBT fan for about 4 years. I was able to attend the WBT National Conference this past summer and I learned so many new things. My favorite thing was the oral writing. It has made a HUGE impact in my classroom. My EL's as well as Special Ed kids are rocking it as well!

 I will post more videos later to show our progression.

Down on the Farm

             

            

            

 It's Down on the Farm time in our classroom! We have jumped into learning all about farm animals. My kiddos are having a blast. Nothing makes me happier than to see my kinders actively engaged in learning. Their favorite centers are read/write the room and QR codes. They are CRAZY for QR codes!

 We have also began very guided research this week. I am so impressed with my kids desire to learn. They love non-fiction text. Today we research goats. They were amazed that a goat's pupils are shapes like rectangles! They also thought it was cool that they were good jumpers. They all got a kick out of the picture in the book with the goat in the tree!

Oral Writing- OH YEAH!!!!!

Words can not express how floored I am by the success of oral writing with my kinders. They are rocking it! They are answering in complete sentences. We are using the capital letter brainy, ending punctuation and the because clapper. They are cracking me up with the ending punctuation. I know my teacher neighbors think my class has lost it. I am thankful that my neighbor on the left is also a WBT lover so her class sounds a lot like mine too!!
We just started the because clapper last week and they are really doing well with it. I am so proud of them. I am looking forward to them being able to put their thoughts on paper. Look out 5 paragraph essays Ms. G's kinders are headed your way!! Tune in for more amazing updates on oral writing. I will post a video soon:)
