The Probes

The Response to Intervention workshop had a lot of medical talk. Sure there's more testing, but now the tests will be called "probes." And when we teach kids who are having trouble at school, we're giving them "treatment." We had the workshop so that we could read more about RTI during the summer months to get ready to organize our kids into three intervention tiers. I may have to apply CPR to myself because I'm getting really annoyed.

The Readings

When I was at the public library yesterday, I saw 3 copies of a book on the new book shelf. I usually pick books that have multiple copies, because that's a hint to me that the book might be popular. Come to find out, as I left the library I noticed that the very book I checked out is the ONE BOOK ONE BLOOMINGTON book choice this year. So if you want to read this book with me, I'd be really pleased. It could be a short lived book club. I've read 2 pages of the book. I quit last night so I could watch a show on people dealing with anger management issues on MTV. But now I'm getting back in to it.
