Carol, I really like your colored index cards idea....the ring seems 
less cumbersome than a notebook, especially when you are carrying your 
writer's notebook, mentor texts, etc.

Here's my thinking about the colors....if you use the colors, they 
don't necessarily have to represent each day of the week, only your 
rotation schedule....for example, you need to see all red before going 
on to the yellow, etc....that way if one day, you can see all of red 
and one yellow, that's great! If yellow needs to stretch over into two 
days, that's fine too.

I also think the bright colors might help to liven our moods during the 
day, and when you go to look through notes for parent conferences, etc. 
you only have to search the orange cards for one student (or yellow, or 
whatever).
