Treasures Literacy Program
Does anyone use this program for literacy? Care to share your schedule. Our grade is having a really hard time incorportating Treasures/EDM/Reading Workshop and Writing Workshop into one day with 6 teachable periods. HELP!

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
We're using it this year for the 1st time...let's just say we're getting used to it. It really is a program that you have to pick and choose...no way we can do oral/phonics/reading/writing/small group work , etc AND still have time in the day for math let alone other interesting things! I'll let you know more as we go along.

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
I was just getting anxious about this the other day since we are starting unit 1 on Monday, just having ended the Smart Start, which we were just getting the hang of...talk to me after Monday!

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
I just read your original post (sorry) and I see you are trying to do workshop AND treasures? That seems IMPOSSIBLE..you can mix elements in for support, but...huhh?? Keep us posted on Unit 1 and I will do same after Monday..at this point, I made a chart where I'll put the kids pics on it to try and manage centers they are going to..we'll see..good luck!

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
Oh..yea.. centers haha.
Supposedly 1st period pure treasures
2nd period Reading Workshop from TC
3rd Writing Workshop
6th EDM
7th EDM
8th which we all know we pack them up but supposedly it is the workbook portion of the day which they won't do in the AM.
We must do writing/reading workshop. What are you doing?

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
Whoa..that sounds a bit like overkill...we are just doing treasures and EDM right now and treasures is taking so long..when I said centers I meant when you are supposed to meet with groups and have them do the independent stuff...centers for us is when they do house center, etc...where are you, if i can ask? you can FM if you want...
we were also thinking about supplementing the writing with some TC stuff, but not full blown...we are still learning to manage treasures!

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
I couldn't imagine doing Treasures PLUS TC!!!  I think it is going to take awhile (like any new program) to really figure out.

Yes we are doing TC Reading/Writing Workshops and Treasures for everything else. ...
What is the House Center? Your kids get to play?

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
We need someone to come in and talk to us for sure..as for the house center, yes, they get to play...it's kindergarten! They need the socialization..not only do I have house, I have art, writing, library, and even turn on the outdated computers that run pretty much nothing..haha...I still think you sound like you're doing an overwhelming thing..good luck!

Lucky you. Our kindergarten does not allow "playing" or anything. No toys!

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
Damn...how on earth??? There is just so much and I can't figure out how to fit it all in in my day??? Seriously, their whole group day lessons are for the WHOLE DAY!!! 
And when you have younger kids, you may have 2 hours, but with younger kids, between bringing them from a prep, snack, packingup, etc...it dwindles down to 1 really easily.

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
We are finally getting a rhythm, but need BREAKS to get through this stuff...but sadly, no time for extra read alouds and fun stuff like star of the week (yet?)--trying to stay positive, though!

Exactly!!! And social studies??? Um...I have no time! At least with TC, I knew I had my block and there were empty spots in my schedule. With this one, there are no empty spots. So I haven't done my read alouds that I love and never mind other stuff that makes school fun.
WE ARE DOING TC AND TREASURES. ARE YOU ALL?

Re: Treasures Literacy Program
Nooooo...treasures replaced tc (mostly for reading..some writing may still be tc as we work it out)...
I know, I have read alouds I love to do, too... :(
