Hmmm . . .fizzled out already??

[Tylana]

I hope we haven't fizzled out already. I am sooo excited about this book and the discussions that began on chapter 1. I hope more people will post about chapter 2 soon. I was actually thinking that we could move onto CHapter three by the end of the week. What does everyone think? Am I moving us along too fast?? Please let me know. I don't want to lose anyone or leave them behind, but I want the momentum to be kept up for those wanting to forge ahead.

Let's light a fire!!

Maybe we need to post the name of the book again. We may pick up others who are interested and did not see the original post.

The title of the book is Practice with Purpose - Literacy Work Stations for Grades 3–6 . It can be read online at this URL:

I'm getting to it, this was a crazy weekend and then my fatehr went to the ER on Sunday night.

I do enjoy the book and want to continue. I think Chapter 3 by Friday would be too much.

Chap 3?

I think I need another weekend to get through chapter 3. I have skipped ahead to read some specifics to do with the newspaper work station.

Ellen, I hope your father is ok.

I'm still in

I am enjoying the book. We just need to go slow with the holidays. We all I am sure are busy with everything. I try to read a little of it each night. I am using centers this week and it is going great. I will post longer about it soon.

I still can't view the chapters online

I've tried viewing the chapters on several computers at various times and they aren't loading on my computer(s). I sent an email to Stenhouse to try to figure out what the problem is. Haven't heard back. I really want to participate, but short of just buying the book, am at a standstill.

Do you have Adobe acrobat? You need this software in order to view the chapters. Luckily you can download a free version of the reader at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

ok

I am glad we are all still on board. I agree the holidays are making it hectic. Fun Friend, if you give me your e-mail I will try to e-mail the files to you. I agree though you have to adobe. If you don't me e-mailing them won't help you either. Let me know.

I do have adobe

I have it on all my computers and am able to view adobe acrobat documents but just not at Stenhouse. I even reloaded adobe from the Stenhouse website. Just click on my name to email me the chapters and thanks a lot! It is a mystery to me why it isn't working.
