Unfortunately, I suffered a brain aneurysm 3 years ago and just remember vaguely reading about it in some resource books written by Lucy Calkins. This Thursday I begin the 2015-16 school year with a two day trainning on Career and College Ready Standards and would like to incorporate reading and writing workshop into our 5th grade Reading Streets Curriculum. Can you recommend some reaearched based sources that I can follow on a daily basis this year on how to incorporate these workshops with Reading Streets and 21st Century Skills (Common Core and College and Career Ready Standards). <br />Thanks,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07098516111816445502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497639452670204398.post-610878497944249912013-07-23T00:01:36.966-04:002013-07-23T00:01:36.966-04:00So glad I stumbled upon your blog!

Then Out of Mind, Wonder, So B. It, Dear Mr. Henshaw (low), and Touch Blue were all book club options. The students LOVED the book clubs and the books! I had students reading multiple books because because they loved the unit so much!<br /><br />I would definitely agree that Wonder & Out of my Mind are fantastic reads!! <br /><br />Amanda<br /><a href="www.myshoestringlife.com" rel="nofollow">My Shoe String Life</a>Amanda Schreiberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469128991778777360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497639452670204398.post-37494562880964104922013-07-08T21:12:18.688-04:002013-07-08T21:12:18.688-04:00I did not.
