I really do love the way I have my classroom set up based on the Modeling and SBG. My theory has always been to just dive in and work through it as I go. Be aware that diving in with BOTH of those may be overwhelming, if not for you, but for your kids if this is going to be a huge shift in philosophy for them. For mine it definitely was and actually still is :) Communication is key here: with your admin, with your parent, with your kids. My principal has been able to diffuse some of the backlash simply by being informed and on board with what I am doing. That being said I hope you do! And never hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!Tracie Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237663751076265379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753011873410854596.post-8372018873479932552014-05-23T14:31:16.502-05:002014-05-23T14:31:16.502-05:00Hi Tracie!

I loved it, but it just wasn't the right time. I am seriously considering just diving in, along with SBG. We have so many kids here that just are gone all the time. Have these methods stuck for you? Have you developed new methods? Thanks-<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12444170505174807934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753011873410854596.post-15590657189868681832010-09-17T20:47:59.897-05:002010-09-17T20:47:59.897-05:00Thanks Mrs. T!

I have always had a hard time keeping absent kids up to date, so I am hoping at least one of these survivesTracie Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237663751076265379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8753011873410854596.post-11530501388589221172010-09-15T19:24:30.801-05:002010-09-15T19:24:30.801-05:00Tracie, I think you are on top of it!

It will have the added benefit of providing a place where you have recorded the year and students can go back for review or extra help throughout the year. Best of luck, I hope the kids take advantage of the resources you are providing them!Mrs. Tenkelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943016358147486172noreply@blogger.com
