[MOSAIC] Assessment Wall
Debbie Wrote... We have a large bulletin bard in our conference room that we use for this. DRA levels go across the top. Individual cards with numbers on the front and student info on the back.are pinned under the correct DRA level. They are color coded for grade level so at a glance it is easy to see where the students are and if there are any students drastically behind grade level. We also use colored dotd on the front to indicate special services. I hope this makes sense teacher name is not on the cards. I also maintain an excel data base with all students and their DRA levels. This allows me to monitor progress because I put the date in the cell that indicates the level. I use this database to also keep students and teachers names aqnd the assessment wall number assigned to each student. I think the assessment wall is a Linda Dorn thing so you might find pictures and more info on her site. Sorry I don't hqave an exact site but you can google it. HTH. Debbie Sent via BlackBerry by ATT Jean says: This sounds exactly how we are using our Assessment Wall. At this time, I am the one in charge of imputing data and keeping our data base up to date. Teachers have taken over moving their own cards and this has certainly helped not only with maintaince of the wall, but encouraging those teachers whose students were not moving along to ask for additional help and/or begin to focus on SSR and DRA. I can send you more information tomorrow that I have on our Wall. All of my info is a school.

Re: [MOSAIC] East Asian Fiction/Nonfiction Novel
*Chinese Cinderella and the Secret Dragon Society* by Adeline Yen Mah is one that my students read last year for historical fiction and the boys and girls in the book club for that book enjoyed it. Here is a link to learn a bit more about the book http://books.google.com/books?id=dSAHJCmGqbsCdq=Chinese+Cinderella+and+the+Secret+Dragon+Society+by+Adeline+Yen+Mahpg=PP1ots=UHpvPlivTasig=TYmCHZW1TemLAtF2uUgNk4Mt25Qhl=ensa=Xoi=book_resultresnum=1ct=result#PPA1,M1 On Fri, Sep 5, 2008 at 12:54 PM, Mohrhauser, Sarah [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The ninth grade social studies (Geography) teachers in my building are looking for a fiction or nonfiction novel as a companion to Red Scarf Girl which they have students read during their unit on East Asia. They would like a title which would be more appealing to the boys in their classes. The other caveat is that they want the subject matter to pertain to no later than 1980! Anyone have any suggestions?

[MOSAIC] Introducing Myself
Hello. Before our book discussion gets underway, I want to introduce myself to this group. I am Kare here and Mrs. Kirk at work, where I teach second grade. Here is the breakdown of teaching assignments over the past eighteen years: Year 1: substitute Year 2: 6th grade Years 3 4: K – 4th Special Ed Summer Session: High School Special Ed Year 5: 4th – 6th Special Ed Year 6: 7th - 8th Special Ed Summer Session: Migrant 1st -3rd Year 7: 3rd grade Year 8: 3rd – 8th English Language Learner Year 9: 4th grade Year 10: 1st grade Years 11 – 17: 4th grade Summer Sessions: 2nd grade Year 18 – 2nd grade This is my first year to implement Daily 5 and so far, it's going well. This is also the first year that I've utilized lessons plans from *The First Six Weeks of School*. I'm eager to continue the momentum of positive changes with insights gleaned from *To Understand* ** I've already carefully read the first four chapters of *To Understand *and it's on my list of Must Read Again books. I'm concerned that I haven't read *Mosaics of Thought*. Should I obtain *Mosaics of Thought* too, or am I going to be okay without having read that?
