I'm So Excited!

I've almost gained 10 followers! Yay!  I know that for most of you out there my say "Phuh~Whatever!" But for me, that's pretty exciting.  I just started getting serious about blogging a month or so ago, so I'm pleased with my tiny little goal.

To celebrate...


How about a freebie?

I think that my county might be one of the last counties to the Balanced Literacy party.  I've been struggling with it all year.  I have no idea why...this is just Four Blocks reinvented (kinda).  I taught this way before...but...


The most trouble I had was figuring out how to work Literacy Stations in my classroom.  I finally figured out how to make it work for me.  I have my students work with the same partner each day for several weeks.  This ends the confusion of "who am I working with today?"  I also have the stations organized by day (I will share that in a later post).  I group the students by ability (based on MAP testing data).

So, here you go...I've posted it in TpT as a word document so that you can edit the names easily.

I have two groups with 3 partners because some students leave the room some days.

 I hope you can use it.  Thanks to all of my 9 followers.  Here's to the next 9 (or 90) :)
