Our school has started the SFA reading program this year. I have been searching teachers.net trying to find a chatboard pertaining to SFA. Does anyone know where I can find a blog or chatboard with questions and answers pertaining to SFA.

Powerpoint Pandemic
All across the world students are nodding off in lecture halls, executives are yawning in boardrooms, military personnel are being anesthetized at briefings, and committees are being put to sleep in government offices by infected carriers that are unaware of their condition.
Most of us have been exposed many times and have woken up afterwards wondering where we were and what happened. Some of us may even be already infected! The PPA (Power Point Anonymous) gives us a list of 12 character symptoms to watch out for:
They say nothing until something comes up on the screen.
They spend all their time talking with their backs to the audience.
They speak in a monotone voice with no breaks and no rhythm.
They have no eye contact with the audience.
They have body language says “I don’t want to be here.”
They fidget with a pointer or clicker while fumbling through slides.
They fill slides with too many bullet points.
They use too many charts and graphs.
They use too many clip-art clichés.
They try to communicate too much too fast causing info-overload.
They have little patience with questions and explanations.
They believe that detailed, visual data will somehow be absorbed into the brains of their audience. -------------------------- Click below to read the rest of Tim Newlin's article, then be sure to pass the link on to your network of colleagues! [link removed]
I want to start the four blocks in my first grade classroom, but I am worried about having enough materials for the guided reading block. We do not have multiple copies of many resources. What do you all use for your guided reading? I may be overlooking some valuable resources that we already have in our classroom. Thank you for your help!

We are continuing with many of the elements of RF (some good, some not-so-good) but this year, since the funds have run out it is MUCH better and we have been able to be ourselves a little more without RF breathing down our necks so much. Now, however, I hear that our state (AZ) and our school district will probably be applying for the Race to the Top grant/funds. Can anyone tell me how similar or different this will be from RF? I know it will entail a lot more accountability and that's ok with me, but I would like to have a little more lee-way in the classroom and in my teaching style than I did with RF. Any info. on this from the educators out there?
