by Cindy Hewitt

Sep 15, 2011

I write about a technique that I used in my pre-k and kindergarten classes for many years with great success.

What happened to 4 Blocks? Has it just died out? I don't hear any talk about it anymore. It seems as though Daily Five has taken over.

4 blocks is dead??

I remember when this board was hopping with all kinds of useful information about 4 blocks. Half these posts aren't even about 4 blocks. So sad. I guess everyone has moved on to Daily Five.

Any one NOT like Four Blocks

by wannabeteacher

Oct 27, 2011

Our school has recently started using the four block curriculum, as well as Kagan cooperative learning. The ADM has abolished AR program, spelling, etc.

Some drastic changes that I'm not really happy with. I was wondering if there is anyone out there that does NOT like four block and why? Any results you could share would be appreciated.

You say spelling will be abolished.....does that mean spelling books with ...See More

Daily Five

by josie

Dec 11, 2011

Does anyone have any experience using daily five in their classroom? If so, can you share what works and what doesn't with the program. Our school has just been inserviced on the Daily five and is the new initiative that our school board will be taking on over the next few years. Any thoughts?

I would love to hear the pros and cons of the HWT program. I am especially interested if kindergarten uses the traditional midline dotted handwriting paper at all. Thanks SueK
