Hello! My name is Leslie Waddelow. I teach First Grade. I created a Wiki that is a work in progress.

Here is my link:

I will be using my wiki for the parents to follow the classroom happenings throughout the year.

Hello Suzy,

Here is my Wiki that is currently under construction for my students. I would like to use it for my 5th graders so that they are able to access classroom resources on their own. It will serve as a news forum for both students and parents.

Attached is my new Wiki page! I plan on using the Wiki for classroom updates and resources on a weekly basis. For now, I have posted writing resources for both the students and parents to use prior to the writing FCAT. As the school year progresses, I would like to add student writing samples to use as guidelines as well. Once I become more comfortable with Wiki use, I will begin to add reading resources also.

I have yet to receive my blog confirmation, but I did create one. I also plan to use the blog as a writing resource. I was thinking of posting either a picture or a quote, then having students post responses for homework using various writing strategies. I will also have class updates for the parents. Thank you for information on these valuable resources!

Workshop Model: Select a book to read to the class. Teach students elements of fiction and non-fiction. Read the book. Divide students up into four groups. Project the Fishbone Diagram on the screen. Ask the students to use the Fishbone diagram as a guide to give one factor and the elements to support.




Ask each group to send one member at a time to give factor and elements to support. After each group has entered. Discuss each factor, clarifying as you go. After discussion, decide if the book is fiction or non-fiction.
