Cross-Blogged from my friend Mrs. Wills Kindergarten. My turn is coming up soon!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh my sweet friends... I am getting REALLY excited!
As you may recall, last summer we collectively studied Debbie Diller's wonderful book, Math Work Stations. This year we will be diving into Katie Wood Ray's Book, In Pictures and in Words.
If you have been reading my blog this year, you know I have used this book in my writer's workshop. But just like last year, I decided I wanted to know more.
Who better to help me think more deeply about this text than you guys?
When does it start?
On June 22nd, I will launch our study here on this site. Then each week another blog will host a section of the book. (I will take the first 2 weeks)
How do I participate?
You will want to follow the blogs who are hosting the chapters (so you won't miss anything).
If you have a blog: You can create a post (using our guiding questions) and link up with the hosting blog.
If you do not have a blog: You can simply comment on the blog with your reflections.
The beautiful thing about blog book studies is you can check in whenever you want. If you have plans during this time of year... no worries... The information will be here waiting for you!
What is the schedule?
I created a book mark to help you along the way. It has the hosting blog, dates, and guiding questions.
Simply print it out and keep it with you as you go through the book study.

Sounds like another exciting study and a great book. I found a small typo on your bookmark, in case you want to fix it : bother (both).
What grade level is this book for?
So excited!
This is so exciting!!

Cool! I must get my copy, now!
I've heard such wonderful things about Katie Wood Ray, but I never got around to buying her books because I've been stuck using my district's program. I think it may be time for a switch!

Can I answer this? Sorry Kim... this is a great Pre K to 1st book, although it has implications for 2nd and 3rd.

Yay! I just got the book in the mail today; I ordered it during one of your sessions in Vegas when you referred to it. I had seen it on everyone's blogs, but I finally broke down when you mentioned it!
Looks great! :) Hopefully I can incorporate some of the ideas into my writer's workshop.
