I did lots of reading that summer and approached my principal about moving away from the basal. He gave me permission, but I don't think he was convinced that I was doing the right thing. In fact, when one of the new teachers was hired, he told her to stay away from Julie Johnson. :) We ended up becoming great friends and leaned on each other as we taught reading in a different way. I hope your day went well and I'm glad your students have you as their reading teacher.
