Great posts. I was most inspired on the binder organization. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove binder organisation but don't think I could manage it. Found Close reading really useful as am about to start this year.
ReplyDeleteI was excited to learn about Amy's binder organization!
ReplyDeleteI love using binders for organization, too--but Amy's system is amazing! I'm inspired!
ReplyDeleteAmy's binders are WOW! I don't know if I can rise to that level, but I am sure going to use some of it to refine my method.
ReplyDelete2 Brainy Apples posts are a great introduction and walk through of Close Reading. I already have the reverse poetry from Runde's Room and your post on perseverance pinned to use and model for this coming school year! Thanks for another group of fabulous post:)
ReplyDeleteReverse poetry looks like something my grade five gifted students would like to try. I had read Jen Runde's post before, but it was nice to read it again and remind myself that this is something I would like to try in my classroom this year!
