I liked doing the museum or gallery walk this morning with the micro themes. I think it would be a good way for students to review before class. Definitely worthwhile for a math class, seeing what the students learned or what they were confused about from the day before. i also appreciated what was listed as character traits of a good writing teacher. Mostly I appreciated the talk about language; spoken, written, and read. Given the language skills and experiences of our student clientele, I think much reading and discussion needs to occur in the classroom before and as the students write.

I totally agree with your last sentence. I find that the discussion or read a loud is often the first to be put on the back burner due to time yet those items could benefit children the most.
