> Melissa, I would like to be invited to chat somewhere with anyone using WTW. I have always loved the idea and the book and now that I have our reading program "under my belt" I feel I can add this and still stay withing our OC reading program. I don't know what all the sorts are --- open, blind??? Not sure yet, I am reading the book but it's a lot right now. We do the sorts all together, so time isnt being wasted, the kids are playing with the  patterns.
