We adopted Rigby "Literacy by Design" last year and we're happy with it.
It is not a basal - although the 3rd-5th graders have a "sourcebook"
which is pretty darned close to a basal - but it is used for shared and
interactive reading. Our teachers like it and we embrace the balanced
literacy philo
I'm wondering if the 1st and 2nd grade teachers out there can please
share how they run their writer's workshop - especially at this time
during the school year?

Carrie and all-
I am a kindergarten teacher, but I started writer's workshop the second week of
school. I start my writer's workshop with a 15 minute minilesson. The
students are gathered on the carpet and I model a specific writing skill in
front of them on a dry erase easel. Some of the m
I'd love to hear more about this as well. I'm currently trying a little
writer's workshop using lifebooks and Lucy Calkins and will be heading to a
writer's workshop training in October.

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering how long most of you have each day for teaching language

students with Asperger
Hi Mary,
TIme is time and when you don't have much you need to make the most of it. Mini
