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?
