I am currently the only one in my school doing 4 blocks. I
use it along side our reading program... or rather, I use
the reading program within 4 blocks. My class has made
tremendous gains, and I have seen it consistently in the
last two years that I have used the four blocks. My class
has had the best readin...See More

This year my district ordered the writing kits for all of us
to begin to do Lucy Calkins units of writing. I on the
other hand am a 4 blocks die hard :). Is there a way to
combine the two and still make the writing block effective?

How do you keep 1st graders focused during SSR? Even though
it's April, I still have very fidgety kiddos. I have a
handful that will not read on their own. I have been
pulling those kids more often for conferences but they are
not independent readers yet.
Any tips?

I am thinking of ordering this book, to help me teach
writing to my first graders, but I am curious if anyone
else has used it and do you like it? Thanks - It is by

I just got "What Really Matters in Vocabulary" by Pat
Cunningham, published by Pearson. Can't wait to read it!
The copyright actually says 2009. I think my vocabulary
instruction is sadly neglected, so I'm really looking
forward to delving into new ideas. I love Pat C!

I am FINALLY going to have my sixth graders for two
consecutive class periods next school term. This of course
will allow me more time to implement 4 Blocks "the right
way" instead of bit by bit.
I have the Modifying 4-Blocks book as well as GOBS of other
guided reading and writing resource books.

The push is on in my district to do small guided reading
groups. I have to admit that I have tried it and...I like
it. I'm thinking of meeting with one or two groups a
week, while the other students read independently, with
partners, or in small groups. I think it will really give
me an opportunity to fo...See More

I have a very short amount of time with my kids because I
teach in a magnet school where they go to 2 expressive arts
classes a day instead of just one specials class like most
do. So here is how my schedule for next year looks:
7:50-9:50 In class with me
