Beth (and folks)-
I found a blog and "weblog" that summarizes (but gives credit to Beth) the Everyday Math Workshop. I, too, wanted to try this workshop and couldn't access the blog on scholastic...frustrating! Anyhow, I took a gamble and did a Google search and found the info. Here are the links:
Thanks, Beth, for coming up with this idea--I'm sure it will work wonders in my quest to continue to individualize education for my students. I switched from teaching 7th grade to 3rd grade for that reason, and, thanks to you, I've been able to use your ideas by tweaking and personalizing them for Reader's Workshop, Writer's Workshop, Spelling, and now Math. I now have one other teacher who ditched the basal and implemented RW and two others who are VERY interested in what I do! Your hard work and willingness to share encourages me to continue to do what is best for my kids even when difficult. Thanks again!
