MariannNOVA Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Quick question: The twins and I are in (on? :001_huh:) Grammar Island - page 67......we are writing sentences (when we have to in order to illustrate a concept) using color coding on our whiteboard and that is going well. Do we wait till we have completed Grammar Island until we start Practice Island? I am thinking that we do wait so I can explain the 4-Level analysis to them, but I just want to be certain.

HappyGrace Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I did not use Island level but did you see the graphic on the website that tells when to do it? http://rfwp.com/downloads.php Scroll down to where it says "Implementation Slideshow"-it was VERY helpful for me in prepping for Town level! Helps you understand the vision for the use of materials. PS-dh is shipping out your package today! PPS-made your luscious Butternut Squash Lasagne again last night-I am addicted to that stuff!

Melissa B Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Yes, the practice books come after the grammar books are completed. We work on a three term system - so term one is the grammar book and terms two and three are the practice books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Do we wait till we have completed Grammar Island until we start Practice Island?Yes, and a heads up: The indirect object is covered in Sentence Island, not Grammar Island, so you'll need to cover this before hitting it in the Practice Book.

radiobrain Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 OR.... you could start doing a few of the practice sentences and only do a one or two level analysis.... Then go back and do 3 & 4 after you have taught them.... that is me, modifying again! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in MN Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Scroll down to where it says "Implementation Slideshow"-it was VERY helpful for me in prepping for Town level! Helps you understand the vision for the use of materials I agree, that would be best. We're using Magic Lens, and we do 4Practice as we go. I use the vocabulary lesson (Word Within the Word lesson 1) to correlate Magic Lens with 4Practice, because they will both say on an assignment "W-1" or something like that. But the lower levels may be different... Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
