Have you ever been to the site www.choiceliteracy.com? If not, check it out. It is a paid site, but they have free stuff too. One of the freebies is their newletter called The Big Fresh. They often put out some interesting things related to literacy. Look for an article in the archives called My Son, Clark Kent. It really makes you think about leveled text (and it may make you a bit sad).
This week The Big Fresh has a teambuilder site http://www.teampedia.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Maybe you will be able to get some ideas from this. I did and I bookmarked it so I can return and look again.
This week I have watched some interesting versions of guided reading. Which made me wonder, did they watch me when I modeled or were they visiting with one another? I am asking myself, how can I explain it so they get it? So, once again I will go into collaboration this coming week, armed with yet another way to present small group instruction. Time is running out for this year. Where has it gone and are these teachers ready to be let loose? That is the question only time will tell.

Wow...thank you! The teambuilding wiki is amazing. I looked through, and I'm set for the rest of the year. My teachers need this, too. I looked for My Son, Clark Kent, but it's only available to members. I'm on a nonspending campaign...at least for now! Thanks for the great stuff. As to leveled texts and small group instruction, I am facing the same challenges...hum...
Too bad My Son, Clark Kent is now for members only. It was in the free part of the newsletter earlier this fall. I have a copy I can share.
