Well, I just thought I should give an update so you know I am still alive! I just finished a week of professional development offered through our district and, and next week I will be attending the National Cognitively Guided Instruction Conference. I am excited for some new ideas!
I'm also doing a little summer professional reading:
The Next Step In Guided Reading: Focused Assessments and Targeted Lessons for Helping Every Student Become a Better Reader by Jan Richardson. I have only read the first two chapters, and I'm getting some good ideas. I am looking forward to some new ways to teach guided reading. It's one area that I am always trying to improve. I bought this book on Amazon if you are interested. The good people of Freebielicious are doing a book study of this book: http://freebie-licious.blogspot.com/2013/06/book-study-chapter-one-posted.html
Well, I am going to sign off for now, but really hope it won't be 11 months before my next post:)
