The STAR tubs you wrote about remind me of reading tubs that we use. They are part of a structured independent reading program by the American Reading Company. I plan to talk more about them on one of my future posts. I have to check out your Pete the Cat Giveway! I LOVE those books!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754666670284458363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930050014304659159.post-81452946867310721552012-11-04T07:09:38.831-05:002012-11-04T07:09:38.831-05:00Forgot to add my blog link in case you're inte...Forgot to add my blog link in case you're interested...<br /><a href="http://growingfirsties.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Growing Firsties - Coming soon: Pete the Cat Giveaway!</a><br />Lisa Matteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01603914324723458114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3930050014304659159.post-50505888104488268072012-11-04T07:08:56.802-05:002012-11-04T07:08:56.802-05:00Our shared reading is about 10 mn and is held at o...Our shared reading is about 10 mn and is held at one of those "in between" times of the day three times a week.

We did Daily Five at the time and now our teachers are beginning to tackle CAFE. I'm reading that book with them as part of a book study. We are meeting after school once a month to discuss one chapter at a time. I'm excited to see how it unfolds in the classroom! I plan to send my questions your way! <br />Hope you are having a great year!<br />Wendy<br /><br /><a href="http://readwithmeabc.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Read with Me ABC</a>Mrs. Arentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087049392614501373noreply@blogger.com
