Re: [MOSAIC] suggestions - Just Words REWARDS
I second the Rewards kudos. I hesitated to reply as Judy did, as I don't use it as a 'phonics' program, as Michelle asked. When students have particular areas of need, I'll target those with speed drills or sorts as well as word work. I have had great success with my middle school students and Rewards and am looking forward to seeing how the growth transfers when we do the last round of Fountas Pinnell Benchmark Assessments.

[MOSAIC] Common Core
I am just curious to see what other schools/districts are doing about the Common Core Standards. My state (Wyoming) has adopted the Common Core.

[MOSAIC] off topic - retirement
I hope many of you do not mind me asking an off-topic question. I am retiring this year after 35 wonderful years of teaching. Over the years I have collected many (100++) professional books. One of my goals for retirement is to clean out my house so naturally I need to send these books to new homes. Does anyone know of a website or a way to sell these books? I have thought of putting them all on Library Thing so people could look at them and then purchase them. Is there a better way? My love of books makes me want someone to have them that would read and enjoy them as much as I have!
