Is anyone using Journeys Reading by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt? We are going to be using it next year. I have made some morning centers and word work ideas for D5 if anyone is interested.
Is Texas Journeys different from other Journeys? Was wondering that myself? Wish I could have remembered to ask the rep when we saw her yesterday for an hour workshop on the series.
I would love to see anything that you have prepared. We piloted this past year and will have inservice in August. I'm expecting baby # 2 at the beginning of July, so I'm trying to do as much planning as possible now for my sub! Thanks for sharing!
The last one would not go through. Tried twice so on to the next.
This is the form. The other one were the sentences to hang around the room. The students take a clipboard and the form and match the sentence to who said it. They love it.
The students read a paragraph. Usually we do it together. Then they answer the questions. (JOT) When finished they stand and look for a partner. (PAIR) Then they share with that partner. (SHARE) Can share with just the 1 or look for another. Then they sit and do the next page/paragraph the same way. They really like this.
Well, apparently the entire state is now eagerly searching for help or resources. I am trying to click on your link but can't. If you have some time, could you email me at lydia_36@hotmail.com so that I can get some info from you? You seem to have more insight than most of us right now (lol). And, I am teaching first grade. Nice to meet you
I am using Journeys this year, and haven't received passwords to the program yet. Anything you can share would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, ABracken
we are currently piloting the Journey program from HMH. It is quiet overwhelming managing the materials. I would appreciate any guidance or support you can offer
I'm confused! We are going to be using Journeys this school year. I have studied it all summer and am having a hard time trying to write a lesson plan for whole group and small groups. The rep told us to have 10 - 15 minutes of whole group first then do groups of 5-6 kids. I will have at least 25 kids, so I'm guessing I won't meet with everyone everyday. She also told us that the kids would move from my group to a work station and maybe to a para for extra practice. Then I guess I am supposed to finish with another 10 minutes of whole group. Does anyone have a schedule that they have found that works? I would appreciate any help. And I think I read on this message board that I should organize all the materials by books. Please, if you can help in any way, I'd appreciate it. I'm getting nervous!!!
Do you have a sample lesson plan (maybe for a whole week) you used for whole group, small groups and stations that you would be willing to share? Also, our new series says to use letter cards...did they come with the program or should we make our own? And also the manual says Instructional Routine Card (10.2) or whatever number...what are these? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, I was surfing the net for this exact kind of stuff!!! How can I access the "What Is A Pal?" documents and others without having a username and password? My email is lydia.pinkjohnson#gmail.com
I am thankful for the ideas you have posted for first grade centers .I would love to see more i am starting the storm story any ideas would be ppreciated
I've searched all of my materials and still can't figure out what the "Routine Cards" are. They are referenced a lot throughout the manual. Does anyone know what they are?
Hi - yes I am very interested in learning about how you do your morning centers as well as word work ideas for D5. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I agree that the Journeys curriculum seems quite overwhelming. I would love any ideas and encouragement. Our school implemented the program last year. I shared my class with another teacher who taught the Language Arts. This year I am full time. I missed last year's training as it did not apply to me. EEEK!
We will be using "Journeys" for next year. Here is the Scope and Sequence we were given. It has all story titles, skills, vocabulary words, spelling words, grammar, and writing topics for the year. It has it all! Just download and print.
I hope this helps,
