Record keeping is very important for a teacher.  I have systems to keep track of students progress in all subjects. One of my most important artifacts of record keeping is my cafe binder.  I use it to keep track of student Daily 5 choices each day, individual reading and writing conferences, and strategy group progress.  I have forms for each type of record keeping.  For my strategy group and status of the class record keeping, I used the typical Cafe forms.  For my reading conferences, I created my own individual conferencing form.
