Our teachers need to have the right tools and non-combative parents ;-)Kai Strand, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10012304963642303041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-66421198404027505102012-05-09T02:02:59.245-07:002012-05-09T02:02:59.245-07:00Always great to have a brave teacher's point ...Always great to have a brave teacher's point of view on this fundamental issue for our kids comfort and pleasure.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633484787634197878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779997262227613456.post-60090070214697977172012-05-07T21:19:43.086-07:002012-05-07T21:19:43.086-07:00Sharon, I love that!

When I taught reading was the best part of the day. Fridays we have book recommendations if we had worked hard all week. Everyone who wanted to (and they all did) sat on my stool and told the class about the book they read. I had to limit the time they were on the stool so everyone had a chance. It was amazing how excited they got about their books. I think it was because we focused to much on reading and everyone read at their own level.Sharon K.
