[MOSAIC] new addition to TOOLS page
Keith has just added the following to our TEACHING TOOLS page located at: www.readinglady.com/mosaic/tools/tools.htm At the very top of the Staff Development section: 1. Ellin Keene's What's Essential outline 2008 Here is a quick link to get there directly: http://readinglady.com/mosaic/tools/tools.htm#4 This is the crucial document that Jennifer is speaking about in her recent post: Think about Ellin's What's Essential list. If everyone works from that, every teacher our students have from K-12 will have a focus that will benefit literacy development. That's the floor...what every child needs. If the child's interests and needs draw us to teach something else...then great. One has to have a vision for what children should know and be able to do in order to make the teachable moments really work for the child. The What's Essential list does that. Jennifer Thank you Ellin for helping to keep our eyes on what IS essential Ginger Weincek Mosaic Team ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.

[MOSAIC] questioning/comprehension strategy
Hello everyone. My name is Nicole Marshall and I am currently taking a course at Wayne State University on teaching reading to elementary children. In the class we are reading the Mosaic of Thought and in chapter 5 it talks a lot about the questioning/comprehension strategy called a crafting session... Has anyone ever done a crafting session in their classroom? How did it work out? What do you do if you do not have two people (and you only have yourself) to demonstrate this to the class? Will it work as efficiently with only one person demonstrating? ___ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.

Re: [MOSAIC] Read Across America
Our school (kids and staff) will be in pajamas on March 2nd. We have several outside readers coming to read to the kids. Green eggs and Ham along with birthday cupcakes will be served for lunch. During lunch we will be playing Bingo for Books THe students brought in gently used books for the even. We also have a volunteer who will be coming in dressed as the Cat in The Hat. He will visit all of the classrooms. On Feb 25, 2009, at 3:01 PM, erika...@optonline.net wrote: Hello all, Read Across America is right around the corner...next week to be exact!!
