DIBELS

I am a second grade teacher, responsible for administering
the ORF portion of Dibels. It bothers me that some seem to
think this is the best thng since sliced bread! It bothers
me when individual progress is not recognized because a
student has not moved out of the intensive group...even
though that stud...See More

building blocks training in wisconsin

by mcolella

does anyone know how I could get information regarding
training in Wisconsin for building blocks? Also, if this is
not possible, will following the month by month book be the
best route to go to create a building blocks classroom?
Thanks

Hey! Loved the Month by month for kinder, but I do have a
question. We are expected to start GR groups early on....The
Month by Month doesn't address GR groups. Please let me know
when you start this or do you?

I know you posted this awhile back, but I've been out of
commission for awhile! BB doesn't include GR groups, and even in 4

am at a school where we are expected to do GR. I start pulling
small groups of kids who need to work on the same s...See More

Building Blocks schedule

by mcolella

Apr 19, 2007

Ok, I think I am beginning to understand the functions in a
Building Blocks classroom. I purchased the BB teacher's
planning book. Does a typical day in a BB classroom pretty
much follow this same schedule with the exception of
specials being scheduled in various areas, i.e. gym, music,
art etc? I guess I tho...See More

1. That depends on where the kids are. Sometimes we are working
on a specific letter most of them need to work on. Sometimes we
are working with their names. Sometimes, many letters together
at one time. Sometimes word building/word families. It all
depends on the group I have and what they need.
2. I don...See More

I miss 4blocks! Help me with BB

by LovinK

Jul 5, 2007

/blockquote>

I absolutely loved 4blocks when I taught 2nd and 3rd. I am
now teaching K and I want to use Building Blocks as my
framework. I have the books and think I can make it work.
No letter of the week if the hardest for me. How do I
begin?

Yes, I did all of this whole group. I did my small groups during station
rotation time. In all honesty...I pulled one kiddo at a time and did reading
