I can't believe how long it has been since I posted!!! Well....it was a busy summer and the school year is off to a great start!!! I LOVED the week of Kagan Cooperative learning. If you haven't checked out Kagan structures....go to Kaganonline to learn more!!
So I'm wondering how many of you are using the new Common Core Standards? Do you like/hate them?? Personally, I like them.....they seem more focused!! It is easier to teach a few things well rather than touching on a million little things.
Ohio has the new 3rd grade guarantee to contend with.....with 24 students in my first grade class....18 are on intervention to insure they make the grade on the 3rd grade reading test! I like that none of my kids are getting over looked....but wow it is a lot to keep up with!!! How is your school doing this (if you have a stipulation like this)?
Hoping this will become a regular Saturday morning this for me.....
I plan on making more things for TpT too.....just don't look for it real soon...... :)
Praying everyone has a happy and safe weekend!!
