Help Needed Quickly!

Next week I am going to see my fourth and fifth grade teachers and we need to get CUCC and MAP stems introduced and understood. Does anyone have a good processing activity for either part? We will be hilighting the elementary stems in the big packet and grouping them. Then what would be a good follow-up? CUCC has me puzzled as how to present it. So any suggestions would be welcomed. I have to get this together this weekend because I will leave on Monday. Anyone have a lifeline to toss to me?

I did come up with an activity for driving home what needs to happen during guided reading. I put phrases on cards that related to Before, During, After on Day 1 and Day 2 activities and some statements of things that should not happen during guided reading. Then I laid them all out on the table and each person had to find the phrases that went with their part. They then glued them to chart paper and we discussed them. I had them take notes on each part so they could talk for one minute with a partner, then switch, then 30 seconds, etc. If this is something you would like, email me and I will sent the sheets to you.

How great is this weather today? I am so glad we were able to get through a week without a snow day! Have a great weekend, but can anyone help?

I have not read the blog in months and just read your comments about your guided reading activity. I would love it if your shared this information with me. I can use it with my schools this Fall. Could you email it to me in an attachment? I think you have my email address. Thanks so much.
