Teacher Comments

I feel it is important to have guided notes while I am teaching so the students can visually see and connect with the content.  I provide a copy for each student.   Sometimes  students misplace, lose, and or ruin their copies, because of this I am going to try and put a copy of  the most of the  guided notes, worksheets, and reading logs on  my blog, so students have access to them at home.

We have weekly reading logs that usually correspond  with the week of the month.  I make 1 copy for each student, if it is lost students can print one from  my blog and fill it out.  Be sure to print the correct log for the correct week.
