I didn’t want to hijack the other CM Organizer thread, but I have a question and I feel like someone must have dealt with this situation before 🙂
I have an eight-year-old son who chooses readers from a basket of readers for 15 minutes of reading practice each day. In the Organizer I have set up a resource called “Readers”, but it would be nice to somehow note which reader he chooses each day. It’s not a necessity, but would be nice to track the books he’s choosing. Has anyone else figured out how to do it this way (without making each Easy Reader an individual resource)?
Thanks!
You could mark down the title & author of the reader(s) he has done each day in the “Notes” box next to where you check off Worked On for the day. When you display a report for it at the end of the year, you can click on each day’s notes to see what he’s read. I don’t know if the notes actually appear on a printed report, though.
The ‘notes’ section won’t show up if you only mark ‘worked on”
My suggestion is, since you know there are 15 choices, then, in the scheduling section denoting divisions, write “book”; then make 15 separate sections, without putting in titles. Save and schedule that.
Then, when he finishes a book, write its name in the ‘notes’ square off to the side and click ‘finished’.
That way, it will register the name if the book in notes and move on to the next book, and you repeat the process. You can click ‘worked on’ if you want the daily tracking (but it won’t document the name), or just mark it when finished.
On the report, you have the option for ‘notes’too show and be printed out.
Hope that makes sense…it’s easier to show than tell.
I guess I was assuming there were divisions listed to check off as finished, and that the book title wouldn’t be entered until it was finished. I’m glad to know that the notes do show on a printed report. I haven’t printed any reports for awhile; I usually just use them once a year for our portfolio reviews.
That’s funny, Sue. I assumed the opposite: that the 15 divisions may not have been made.
I only use the reports at the year’s end, too.
Sue and Rachel,
Thank you so much for your help! I just tried it and, yes, I’m able to create a ‘books’ division and mark the division as finished with a note about the actual book read. That’s brilliant. You’re right; the problem I was running into was that I couldn’t save my note with the book title without marking the resource as ‘finished’. Now I can just mark the unnamed division as finished. Thanks!!!
The ‘notes’ section won’t show up if you only mark ‘worked on”
Notes should show up on a detailed Progress report for both worked on and finished assignments.
(If you have a note on a worked on assignment that won’t show on a report like that, send us a message with the name of the resource and the date range of the report so we can take a look. Thanks!)
