I loved this classroom tool and am looking for a way to make it possible in my 2nd grade classroom. I will go home and work on this program and hopefully before school starts, have a solution. Any suggestions? All are welcomed!
I am starting to really get into the inquiry paper and the classroom activity today really helped me. A lot of the input was the same as some of my concerns and questions. It is really hard to find the balance of how much to work with cursive handwriting, spelling, grammar, and oh, yeah--writing. It's so exciting to see the writing of our students, but if we can't read it, because of handwriting issues, spelling and grammar errors, where does that leave us? Looking forward to the library time tomorrow and learning more about researching.
Since the computer-based poster interactive doesn't necessarily have to be a year-long activity, I think I'll have time to meet with my principal and technology specialist to get the ball rolling for a time later in the year. I KNOW that the students will love this!!
ReplyDeleteI am finding many high school students don't use cursive. Some of mine can't read cursive. I think they should be introduced to it and then choose how they wish to write. How often will they use cursive? or even read it? Good luck! Can't wait to see your results. I haven't looked at 2nd grade English standards. Is cursive a requirement?
