I have been following your work for several years now. I greatly appreciate all that you do and share with the rest of us!!
My question is about the structure of the 40 minutes of IDR. My current class needs A LOT OF STRUCTURE, and I have not felt successul so far this year when it comes time for IDR and just "letting them go." I am discovering blank reading logs, blank sticky note tracker sheets and more. I know I need to do a better job of conferring and holding them accountable, but I also need time to meet with guided reading and strategy groups. Do you schedule stations or reading centers in that time? Do you have any kind of posted "to do" list for that time? Can you point me to a helpful resource for this problem?
