If your district were doing Four Blocks, they would not be requiring an hour of centers. Centers are not a part of Four Blocks. Please do not continue to say your district is a Four Block district. Next, I would call your 30 minutes of "Shared Reading" the Guided Reading block and do it the Four Blocks Way. Then I would incorporate SSR into the "hour of centers" (although I wouldn't take the full hour. Is this a Reading First building? If that's the case, then you will not be able to do any Word Work in this 90-minute period of time. Post back and we'll provide further suggestions. brad RESPOND TO THIS POST START A NEW THREAD RETURN TO CHATBOARD Posts on this thread, including this one 4 blocks and literacy centers, 7/09/08, by Melissa.
