Celebrations!

Karen inspired me with her story and so I was thinking that perhaps we could each think of something that they want to celebrate in their work with MOT. Think about your work individually or with your teachers. What is something worth celebrating?

Wondering....

So, what are you wondering about this week? What have you tried with your book groups and how has it gone? My hope is that this will be a place for us to have conversations, exchange teaching ideas and just figure it all out with many minds instead of one!!
One of the things I have noticed in many districts is the implementation of basal series combined with efforts to encourage comprehension strategy instruction. How do these two work together? Can they work together? How are they different? What is your thinking about this?
