Rosie, I hear your and others frustrations about the numerous restrictions placed on how/what/when you can teach. I am strongly an advocate of teacher decision-making in the classroom. Trouble is, you are under these restrictions... so your choices are to be miserable, find a way to mak

Carol, If I remember correctly from the workshop, the teacher created a "notebook" using chart paper, and each of the kids had stapled or plastic-bound "notebooks" made from large paper (12x18, I think). The class, as a whole, went through the notepages using the strategies, with the teacher doing
