Stephanie,
Hope you don't mind my writing to you
directly. Can you outline what your Reader's Workshop looks like? I
plan to buy the book Mosaic but I'd like a little "preview" from somebody who's
a few steps ahead of me.
Thanks,
Anna

Subject: [MOSAIC] Starting Reader's
Workshop For the First Time
Hi All,
I'm soooo glad the list is back up. I started Reader's Workshop for the
first time ever with my 3rd grade class. My school is a low performing school
in the inner city. We are in our 3rd week of school. They have learned
procedures for finding books, caring for books, choosing Just Right books,
choosing a book nook, and logging their books in their response journals. I
started this week teaching Text to Text connections. I have about 5 kids who
have really grasped the concept and have begun making their own connections to
their books and writing about them in their journal. What other experiences
have you had with kids grasping the concept? I would love to hear from other
teachers in an urban environment (with lots of ESL students) to hear what
success they have and how long it takes for their kids to grasp a concept,
such as connections. How long does it take? I love the philosophy of Mosaic
but want to know realistically what time line I should except.
Thanks!
Stephanie
3rd/CA
