About
Kristi Mraz and Marjorie Martinelli are literacy consultants with the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project. They work in schools from New York City, to California, to Romania! Both were K-2 teachers for many years before joining the project!

It is Monday – hope everyone is okay. We are missing your posts!
Thank you for your concern. We were with family and friends ( a wedding and a trip out west) that caused a slight disruption to our usual routines. But we are back and looking forward to hearing your ongoing feedback.
Where are teachers finding the sticky notes shaped like talking bubbles? I’ve never seen them in a store, and the big box office stores don’t carry them online. Would love to get some for my first grade classroom. Thanks for all your great ideas! I am especially pleased that you show charts for a variety of grade levels, and that you clearly state the grade levels for the charts. My classroom is looking great, thanks to you!
I’ve found these talk bubble post-its at Target, Staples, and Office Depot in the past.

Just finished TCRWP training today; the presenter gave told us about your Blog and WOW! I can not move away from my computer. THANK YOU!
Stay tuned and let us know what you do to make charts effective and productive for your students.
I tried to email you but the address listed in your post “Live from New York” does not work, even when you change the period to a @ symbol. Can you repost your email address or share how to share images with your web site? thanks!
I’d love to see the full chart for glitch/bummer/disaster. This is a real issue in my class this year and I think we would really benefit from this chart to reference!
Thanks!
