It&#39;s so important to let kids choose what they will write about. Having a variety of writing tools is also a huge incentive. Last year, I posted lots of ideas on making books with kids on my blog. It can be found at http://growingbookbybook.com/2011/09/19/book-makingpublishing/ Enjoy!Growing Book by Bookhttp://www.growingbookbybook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-31310057947542421202012-05-22T01:22:34.608-04:002012-05-22T01:22:34.608-04:00I love the idea of giving them options - I&#39;ve found that giving my students the choices (of setting, materials, etc.) gets them to be more engaged in the activity itself. I&#39;m definitely going to do this in my writing centers!eatteachbloghttp://eatteachblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-69082021876635274912012-05-21T18:27:53.097-04:002012-05-21T18:27:53.097-04:00Love the writing center!! <br /><br />Blessings, <br /><br />Jessica Stanford <br /><a href="http://mrsstanfordsclass.blogspot.com/2012/05/sight-word-practice-with-awesome.html" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Stanford&#39;s Class Blog is Having a Giveaway!</a><br /><a href="http://www.teacherspayteacher.com/Store/Jessica-Stanford/" rel="nofollow">My TpT Store</a>Jessica Stanfordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14406854012035483532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-78880422401681381272012-05-21T17:07:22.122-04:002012-05-21T17:07:22.122-04:00One year in my classroom I had a writing cart instead of a writing center. That way kids could take the writing materials wherever they needed them. It encouraged them to use writing for a variety of purposes!Kelley Mayer Whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13861583020989962548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-64337758926889638182012-05-21T16:41:31.298-04:002012-05-21T16:41:31.298-04:00Thank you for encouraging writing exploration! I have a series on writing and how to get started with journal writing. Even toddlers and preschoolers can experiment with writing! My little ones started a journal at about age 2. First it is full of scribbles and then it slowly grows into a sweet keepsake of their favorite memories. <br /><br />http://waddleeahchaa.com/2010/08/30/10-easy-steps-to-introduce-journal-writing-preschool-third-grade/jeannine: waddlee-ah-chaahttp://waddleeahchaa.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-32926054855033639742012-05-21T12:47:53.393-04:002012-05-21T12:47:53.393-04:00I love your portable writing station! The other ideas are great too. Little J had a summer writing journal last year. I printed and taped a vacation picture in it each day for him to use as a writing prompt. He seemed to enjoy it and I think we&#39;ll try it again this summer. Thanks for these great ideas too!Kelly at Little Wonders' Dayshttp://www.littlewondersdays.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-45841101773273537252012-05-20T23:49:21.195-04:002012-05-20T23:49:21.195-04:00I would love to win this product. I would use it in many ways in the classroom...small group interventions, listening for speech errors, fluency, listening to children count to 100, and using it for playback when I have completed a running record. Those are just some of the ways!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-81750738913527046022012-05-20T23:47:59.878-04:002012-05-20T23:47:59.878-04:00wow. cool giveaway. i&#39;d love to win. :)Kristinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15004282304960660232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-2024527850552664892012-05-20T20:55:22.063-04:002012-05-20T20:55:22.063-04:00I love it for these main reasons: Extended uses across the curriculum—oral language, fluency, phonics, speech therapy, intervention and more and Can be used for self awareness/self assessment/biofeedback in the areas of grammar and speech articulation/phonology. BOth of my boys have speech issues and this would definitely help them to hear themselves say the words and if they are saying the words correctly or not. I&#39;m sure as they get older we can find others way to adapt it to our homeschool learning environment. ~ IishaBlogiposahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07723665722695778551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-17276449876948109482012-05-19T21:13:46.524-04:002012-05-19T21:13:46.524-04:00I would love to use this for story telling, or reading skills<br />jkdemeyere@yahoo.comKalanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-70882014235490552102012-05-19T18:39:23.959-04:002012-05-19T18:39:23.959-04:00I would use this recorder in a learning center. <br /><br />imgoingfirst@gmail.comDelightedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12616824143338884896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-89611289430399505352012-05-19T15:01:18.358-04:002012-05-19T15:01:18.358-04:00This is such a cool tool that I can think of so many uses for. It would be so much fun for my students to use it and create their own audio recordings of books for others to listen to. I also think it would be great to capture my students reading to share with parents. I&#39;m sure I could think of many more possibilities if I had the chance to try it out.<br /><br />Donna<br />ziggyfriends<br />darryl40w@att.netZiggyfriendshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05066832202132938026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24747397875020285.post-12361908689684592142012-05-19T10:47:37.079-04:002012-05-19T10:47:37.079-04:00What an interesting recorder!
