Hi everyone,
My administrator decided in the beginning of the year that it was okay for
us to forgo our purchased basal series (Open Court) and only use
literature in our readers workshop (woo hoo!!). Flash forward to now and
we are told that we must use them, whether it be for phonics, literature,
etc. . . basically just use them, all this money was spent on them ("what
we're supposed to do" is changed at least twice a year, so you can imagine
our frustration!).
Can anyone give me any advice or pointers or how they use their basal in
their classroom in conjunction with quality literature? We structure our
readers workshop based on comprehension strategies (i.e September we work
on making connections etc.)If anyone out there, uses Open Court and a
readers workshop setting, that would even be more helpful.
Thank you!
