Last week I worked with K-1 teachers in Fayetteville, Arkansas. What a great time we had together. We examined small group instruction and literacy work stations. Many confirmations of things folks were already doing well, and some slight tweaks, too.
One teacher exclaimed on day two, “I get it! Organization is everything. If I can get my small group area and my lesson plans and my groups organized, instruction will go even better.” Amen to that!
After day one, someone in the group went home and made guided reading folders for her team. How’s that for collaboration? She used the example on the cover of Making the Most of Small Groups. Way to go!
What a wonderful workshop with Debbie Diller! It truly is all about planning and organization! Thanks for bringing your expertise to Fayetteville!! We learned a lot about teaching from you but also a lot about life in general!!
Thanks for our talks about MD Anderson too! Praying your husband continues on the road to recovery!
Thanks also for your contributions to the community too! First the ticket then Impressions!!(Ha!)
