I think the problem is fixed with my posts not appearing. I've always considered myself pretty technologically savey, but apparently blogging is not part of that ability. I have figured it out, though and soon I hope to move out of the emergent stage of blogging and at least into the beginning stage. :-)



First, to Olivia's question. In the real world, I would never have students do a choral reading on the first reading. We always do it with poems, and stories with which we are already familiar. That way you can have a discussion about them before you start reading. In the 402 world, we only have 3 hours. I should have mentioned that, though. I'm sorry. Perhaps I should have waited to see how everybody else responded to Olivia's question.



You have some good goals. We will definitely discuss differentiation. Also, the books I bring in each week are books I think would be great for the classroom library. Additionally, once the scholastic book orders come in (hopefully before our class on Wed.) you will be able to look through those and get some books.

Thanks!
