[LIT] status of class

[Vicki Whiting]

Hi,
I think I missed something.  Can someone tell me what "status of the class"
is?  I'm a brand new teacher, just graduated in Dec. Thanks for your help
and I love your ideas here!!!

period. 
Kids usually 8)) know what they have been working on.  Then you have a
record 
of where everyone was and can use it at the beginning of your next workshop.

Worked for me.

smacking moment).   Why didn't I think of trying this at the end of class?
I can 
see how this would work beautifully for me as part of a ticket out the door.

I've done similar things, just never a formalized status of class.   I've 
ended up switching my reading workshop and writing workshop each quarter.
This 
quarter, I'm embroiled in Reading Workshop and Lit Circles *rubbing my
aching 
head* - however, I will try the status of the class at the end of class next

quarter.   It sounds like a winner!
