These are great suggestions. I'd like to add: differentiation that focuses on higher level thinking skills for struggling readers and real-life activities for assessment. Linda in ME

So some of us are already back in classes, and the rest of us will be before too long. What are topics you'd like to explore as we move through the year? How do you see your needs evolving at different stages of the year (for example - beginning of school, autumn settling in, Thanksgiving and subsequent holidays, winter blahs, spring hope, end of school)? This can help us set an agenda for what we'd like to accomplish during the year. Thanks!
