love the calendars for reading workshop! I am currently a kindergarten teacher and our district is about to embark into readers workshop…although with just Growing Readers as our guide I was a bit anxious, however you have mapped it out very well….May I ask what you do after March…I couldn’t find a calendar for those months
Thanks so much!
