From the 4-blocks list:
From: Jennifer Bish
We made a Did I chart and it is displayed in the room at all times.
Did I......
1. put a two finger space between words?
2. use capital letters to begin my sentences?
3. put a period at the end of my sentences?
4. check my spelling?
As children finish their work we just remind them to use the Did I chart. =
The
chart is up in the room and teachers can add to it as needed.

..........................................................................=
.
4-blocks also uses the CUPS idea.
C=3Dcapitalization
U=3Dunderstandable sentences
P=3Dpunctuation
S=3Dspelling
Has anyone made a chart that uses ideas from all the 6 Traits posters?

I will be teaching two 6 Traits workshops in a Phoenix district in August. =
I don't like the copies I have of student writing. Some of them will be
fine, but I'd like more variety in grade level. If you have anything =
you'd
be willing to share, with the understanding that the child's name will not
be used, please send it to me, with grade level. I'm looking for examples
across the rubric, not just high papers.
Thanks.

Hi again!,\
I have had that happen to me, too. Just lost track of the ring. We've =
been talking about fundraisers, homework, nasty situations at school and =
some
good websites. I have been trying to handle seasonal affective disorder =
(SAD)
recently and even a cheery bunch of friends on the net (can I be so bold
after 9 months?) just haven't been able to do it until it was 78 degrees =
last
week and I could get out in the fresh air and start breathing, thinking =
about
my garden and lose some of the "pudding" I've acquired around my middle =
this
winter. Now school seems to be a more rational task. and I like people =
much
more, including myself.
SPRING...LIGHT!!!!!
I received a great site to go to : http://www.bensguide.gpo.gov =
I've
been teaching fifth grade government for 9 years and didn't know about =
this.
We've just gotten the net at school in our classrooms, and it is nice to =
know
a bank of legit sources to put on my favorites buttons. Also:
http://ericir.syr.edui (ask Eric with several lesson plan and other =
links.)
Hope we don't lose track of you again. Ann
