I really appreciate your comments on literacy/reading/wiriting. I wish I had heard your thoughts while I was teaching my most recent class of 4th graders. I can see so many connections to what happened during our reading of James & The Giant Peach and The Great Horned Spoon and the reading strategies you have touched upon in our blogging class....
Thanks! :-)

This sounds like a great way for beginning readers to comprehend the text. Comprehending while reading out loud can be challenging for even the most proficient reader!

Perhaps the point of the piece is to allow adults to understand that, often, students object to some routine classroom activies for very good reasons and that teachers need to explore the reasons for their reluctance.

As a new student, learning about BLOGS, I'm glad you are not a "Mrs. Miller" type of teacher. (Know I'll have to read Ida B to see how it ends.)

During the story of "Ida B" I kept thinking of when my group home students would have a nickname that they preferred. I used to be a real stickler with using the given names until I had a student sadly explain that his given name was also his father's. His father physically beat and mistreated him as a child; the nickname was one more way of distancing him from those memories. He didn't want to be a Jr. to his father. From then on I was more accepting of nicknames - within reason. Nothing strange, object-specific, gang-related or otherwise inappropriate. So kids with nicknames like "Angry 5th Street Bullet" were disappointed.
