Circling with Balls Questions – 1

Here are four questions – in four separate posts – from a teacher who is new to this work. I’m sure that she will welcome any and all feedback from the group:

I’ve read so many of your books, watched the videos, and read posts on the PLC – my head is just overflowing with ideas and I’m almost paralyzed in my planning. Spanish III and IV I’ve just been talking with, too, but I’m going to have to get into the book soon.

Many things have gone well the first two days, but some things are stressing me out…

I’ve been doing CWB with my Spanish I and II classes (5 in total) and I was just wondering how you ever assign jGR grades daily for all of those kids! I haven’t written down any numbers anywhere yet – except I noted a 5 on a couple of kids in Spanish II that offered more than the average response to one of my questions. I’ve been flying through the day and can’t figure out when to write down that grade.
