I wish I saw this practice in more classrooms. I will be using your approach as an example. Just look at how much instruction was packed into one lesson! Thanks for sharing.

I don't make enough charts. I should be more proactive in doing so and not worry about looks. I also love using the question, "What did you notice?" It leaves the floor wide open for discussion. Thanks for this post.

Thank your so much for the recommendation ( have never seen this!) and how you team taught.

I'm a big believer in having less mentor texts that can teach more things. Why have 10 books when you can have 3 that do the trick (and that the kids can know really well) for a UoS.<br /><br />And I hear ya about the less-than-perfect charts. Nothing wrong with that!Stacey Shubitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903206728640184043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738534444392348639.post-1653760916648377092015-01-06T21:39:17.208-05:002015-01-06T21:39:17.208-05:00Love this book!
