Welcome to our classroom!

Like everything in the world, this website has a story. I have a blog on the lovely and ever-so-useful Proteacher.net. Currently, that blog is one and a half years old and has followed me faithfully through more than a year of teaching reader's workshop. But it's not very well-organized for people searching for Reader's Workshop answers. This page will attempt to re-organize those blog entries by linking to them when appropriate. Additionally, I can add extra information in formats that Proteacher cannot handle. My hope is that this will eventually become a more complete resource. Check back, because this site will always be under construction! Enjoy!

Setting Up a RW Classroom, Part 1

















Here are some photos of my classroom set up this year. Because I'm looping with my current class, I was faced with the daunting task of keeping out all of my first grade books, as well as spotlighting our second grade ones. Because of that, this year more than any other- I truly have a classroom in a library!

Almost all of the books in these photos were sorted by the kids at the end of last year. I think they did a pretty good job, using their genre knowledge to make the big distinctions and then breaking them down further within the genres.
