Maggie asked that I repost this reference to articles in a post labeled "Reading Room" so here it is:
I have recently read two articles that I think will be helpful as I meet my students where they are and encourage them to move forward in their learning. I think that you can probably get the articles through Marvel. I belong to NCTM and ASCD so I receive the journals and find them very helpful.
The articles are:"Identifying Opportunities to Connect Parents, Students, and Mathematics," Teaching Children Mathematics, August 2008. The author shares her experience with family math nights. Margaret and I have held a family math night during each of the last two school years. I am sure that we will do it again (with Sheila) but I am wanting to rethink some of our activities.
"The Power of Our Words," Educational Leadership, September 2008. This article is useful across all curriculum and refers to the Responsive Classroom approach.
Both articles are quite brief and I think that they will help me to set a positive climate for my students and their families.

Please post responses to these articles here as you read them.
I'm reading the book The Power of Our Words. I'm always trying to find ways to provide descriptive feedback.
