What a day. Some how, I meant with every group this morning. The class was very quiet...probably due to a long weekend or late night. I am giving written response assignments to each group. That makes them reread their text and keeps them focused on the reading task.

After school, we started our writing circle multi-age group. There are 24 kids in the group from K5 to 5th grade. Today, we started an idea page, wrote, met each other, and shared. Next week we will create our writing map.
