(What It Is and the Best Techniques for Using It)
*Shared Writing, Guided Writing, and Independent Writing
(How to Use the Right Writing at the Right Time)
*Read Alouds and Responses
(Building Vocabulary, Science, and Social Studies Concepts through Literature)
*Management and Accountability
(Students' Responsibility for Independent Activities)
*Using Technology to Make Learning Fun Again (and Involve Parents in the Process!)
The K-Crew's most requested presentations include:
Kids In Charge! Literacy Centers That Allow Learners to Lead the Way
Come experience multi-leveled, self-paced literacy centers that kindergarteners love! This session
briefly covers the balanced literacy components of shared reading and writing, focusing more on
classroom management, worthwhile center activities, and student accountability. Teachers will
actually get to explore each center and its activities firsthand. Be prepared to get excited about
teaching!
The Right Writing at the 'Write' Time
Ever wonder why your students don't write? That's because they aren't writing at the "write time."
Discover the rhyme and reason to teaching writing with The K-Crew. We'll share ideas for
journaling, shared writing, guided writing, and independent writing in a typical kindergarten or first
grade classroom.
"Smart Art- Using Art to Encourage Thinking"
Everybody knows that art should be an integral part of early childhood education. However, a
survey of teachers in most schools is sure to find that the majority will say, "It's too messy," "We just
don't have time," or "I'm not an artist." Banish these excuses with "Smart Art"... ideas that won't take
away from instruction, aren't too messy, and don't require an art degree. Of course, The K-Crew will
also offer ideas that are messy, will take some time, and might even require some flexible thinking.
Discover ways to teach curriculum content using art as a tool. Extend that favorite shared reading
book or read aloud. Use art in your math curriculum. Science becomes a masterpiece each time
students use art to explore a new concept. Want to let your students? creative abilities shine
through? Then, this is the workshop for you!
"The K-Crew Shares the Secrets to Shared Reading"
This summer, we'll share our treasure trove of shared reading secrets, including an extensive list of
appropriate books, logical sequence of print concepts, lesson "tricks and gimmicks" that students
love, and ideas for open-ended student responses.
