My principal gave the four blocks book to me and a couple
colleagues to look at. I'm wondering what the results
really are? There are comments from teachers in the back of
the book, but it looks a little hokey.
I like most of the ideas, but it seems to mean 2 hours at
least a day devoted to the blocks....See More

Does anyone have a chant for March? I believe these came
from the Reading Lady but I can no longer find them. Mine
got lost in our building move. Sandi

Do you still have the monthly chants? I would love to have them again -- lost them.
Thank you so much

I'm trying my best with the four blocks, and doing guided
reading with scholastic news and books I get from book
orders on sale or at thrift shops when I can find multiple
copies. I don't have a collection of books to choose from,
such as a leveled book room, so I am pretty much on my own.
I do the SSR daily,...See More

i'm wondering what other four blocks teachers give for
reading, writing or spelling homework. i teach second, and
we are required to give 40 minutes of HW. i do not
personally agree with this, but it is school policy. i tend
to give what i think is 40 minutes for my lowest students,
not my highest, as then my...See More

We used to have a 120 min; literacy block (when I do the 4
blocks) and 60 minutes for math.
Now our scores are back and the math went down this year.
Admin wants us to do 90 min of math, and 90 min of
literacy.
How can I fit all 4 blocks each day in 90 min? There really
is no other time that ...See More

Can someone please post a typical 5 day schedule that you
would use in a 2nd grade classroom for word study? My
kids usually whine about having to doing the front and
back activities on the half size sheets of paper every
day - plus I haven't been able to shorten this time
smaller than 15 minutes (what a...See More

We do it all together - it's kind of modelled and discussed
together as they write down the correct responses. I really
don't have any quick finishers since the words are given
orally.

Okay, it is that time of the year, when all of the words
are up on the Word Wall, so everyday is now a review.
Can't figure out what I must have done last year, so this

Would someone at the second grade level just give me a
week's worth of what words t...See More

Hi deb. I am teaching in a Reading 1st school and am
wondering if I could incorporate "Phonics They Use"
within the framework of RF. We have to teach our kids in
small groups while others are doing centers and this would
be where I would probably use it most. I teach 2nd grade
so I want something that en...See More
