[MOSAIC] Team Teaching

2007-06-20 Thread Sickcommittee
Hi all,
 
My sixth grade teaching partner and I will be teaching together next year  in 
open space (two sixth grades of about 38 kids). I will lead Language Arts  
instruction while she will lead Math. I'm really excited and a bit nervous too! 
 
LOL
 
I want to use reading and writing workshop with these students. I have done  
both in prior years with some success but had issues with scheduling workshop  
consistently due to 1) constant sixth grade pull-outs and 2) the fact that  
the required curriculum is an anthology with embedded spelling and grammar. 
 
I'd like to know from those of you who team teach: How do workshops work  
with such a large group of kids? Also--from those of you required to use an  
anthology--how do you meet the requirements of the adopted curriculum while 
also  
integrating authentic literature? I'd love any specifics on the  actual time 
spent teaching anthology versus using  workshop format. Sample schedules would 
be great. I'd appreciate responses on  just about any related topic.
 
Thanks in advance
Kelly W
Grade 6/CT

I pretty sure this is the URL for the Podcasts:
http://www.teachercreatedmaterials.com/podcasts.

Even if you don't have an iPod, you can "subscribe" to get new podcasts
delivered to your computer via iTunes (free for both PC and Mac).
