Hi,
I just saw the ratings that you gave me and wondered if there was something that I could improve? I was marked down for quality, practicality, throughness and creativity. Was there something that I was missing or that I could improve? I appreciate your feedback.

lmk6944 re: Teaching Guided Reading: Parent Information Night: Mad Gab
These seems like a neat idea but I'm having trouble figuring them all out. Do you have a cheat sheet for teachers to go with this?
December 13, 2011
Sara Connell (TpT Seller)
I do not have a cheat sheet...but I could create one. Which ones are you having a hard time with?
