"While I find the routine to be highly engaging and making a difference with my students, I am not sure that the entire 45-60 minute direct instruction is what is best for 5-6 year olds. It is also another step to add to my already full plate in having to create “packets” for my students to use."
"We are ensuring #wenatcheereads with voraciously and analytically! "
"Thank you!"
"I Feel a bit concerned that this 60 minute piece is being thrown at us on top of our daily schedule - what am I throwing out or giving up to do this? It was originally presented to us as extra tool not mandatory."
"Thank you!!!"
"Create a working document on google drive for teachers to share what they have done and materials that they have found useful would be nice."

"I've enjoyed using the PA routine in my classroom, I am starting to see students make connections. They are able to retain sentences through body mapping and carry this into their writing time!"
