2014-2015 School Year Approaching

Well, let's try this again.  Last year was a great year, but no time for Blogging.  I have not given up and will once again make this an active site.  It helps that I will be teaching Gifted Firsties again.  I hope you will join me and my new class on our 2014-15 school journey.

Move-In Complete: This is the Space

Last week with the help of two of my grand kiddies, I got "my stuff" moved to my new room.  I love the huge windows and the view! However, we might be a tad short on space.  I'll have max 19 firsties- another plus!

Here is my "make-over" crew!

 Below are some pics and be sure to check back for some updates on progress.

OK Guys wish me luck! Loretta 

Daily 5 Choice Flip Chart

Working on some flip charts to use with The Daily 5 by the Sisters: Gail Boushey and Joan Moser.

Since all students have a unique number in my class, I will have students drag their numbers to empty spaces to select their stations for the rotation.  I am hoping this will help with the student "choice", component on our teacher evaluation rubric, throughout all the stations.  Here is what I have thus far.  Email me if you would like this template.

I would also appreciate any feedback.  Thank you!

Sunny Sunday Reading

Here are some great chapter books I grabbed from Posh Diva's Sight. We have been reading aloud and independently the Tree House series so know your kiddos would want to continue those for sure!
