This is exactly what I do as well. It is very easy and open-ended,
which I like. I do not preprint anything on them. When I observe, I
quickly write the child's name and date, then whatever I am observing.
I always write exactly what they CAN do, not what they are not doing,
and not an opinion or an inference. Just direct observations, i.e.,
"says "kit" for "kite" and NOT "drops silent e."

Hi Jen,
I teach 3rd. I uses mailing labels for my anecdotal notes, then I
have a
three ring binder with tabs/paper for each group/student. When I am
done, I
can peel and stick at the end of the day. I preprint three things:
word
analysis, comprehension, fluency so I can quickly jot notes in one of
the
major areas.
I'm sure there are cheaper ways to do it...many people will say labels
are
expensive, and they are-no question. I have tried many things, but
this is
the one keeps me very organized, so it's worth it to me. I have
looked at
checklists but found them too confining for the types of notes I need
to
keep on 3rd graders.
I'm interested in hearing from others on this!

Greetings,
I have always taught 1st grade and have had a great system in place
for
taking notes during guided reading groups. The forms I have are
suited
for
first grade. It was designed so that I can check off observable
behaviors
at different text levels along with space for anecdotal notes and a
spot
for
dates when student moved to the next reading level.
This year, I will be teaching 3rd grade. I am interesting in how
others
record notes about their individual students while in reading
groups. I
know
some people use "sticky notes" but I would not like to use those.
Thank you,
jen
