Re: [MOSAIC] kindergarten

There are some excellent resources out there for teaching letters (and other stuff) using children's names. One is Beyond the Names Chart: Using Children's Names for Word Study by Debbie Diller and I can't remember the other titles. But I'm pretty sure a couple more come from Scholastic. __

Re: [MOSAIC] kindergarten

Pat Cunningham has a few lessons using children's names and I think and in one of Lucy Calkins' books on reading (can't remember the title) there's a lesson on this, too. Elisa Elisa Waingort Grade 2 Spanish Bilingual Dalhousie Elementary Calgary, Canada There are some excellent resources o

Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying this holiday weekend. This past Friday the Diane Rehm show on NPR had two guests who talked about the demise of thinking in our schools. I found myself reaching for the phones when they started talking about teaching. I wanted to scream, "We are trying to
