Oops "FREEBIE"!

I almost forgot.
Here is a sheet I created on the Math Practices that are embedded in the Common Core Standards.
I have tried to break each "practice" down so that it can be understood by the younger student and the "challenged" elementary teacher.  LOL
Okay so here it is and look for the posters coming that will be enlarged.

Oh where oh where...

has this blogger been???
Time has just gotten away from me since I got out of school.
Closing my room took time and I wanted to get bulletin board and other things ready for the start of the new school year.
BUT...I'M BACK!
Just finished a great packet that I am so excited to use for making sure that each student is "on target" with the Common Core Standards.  I really think it will be a fabulous form of assessment and great for informative mini lessons.

This is just a sample of one of the Clusters.  But it will give you and idea of what the 165 pages consists of.
Vocabulary, task cards, assessments for each standard and task as well as record keeping sheets.

Will I see you ...in September? (Freebie)

Well today was the last day with students and I am exhausted BUT surprise when I got home my husband had the car packed and we headed out to the cottage.  It has been such a relaxing evening.  Tomorrow we will head back into town and I will finish up in the classroom.  I plan to take pictures to share with you of how I am preparing to close up the room and get ahead of the game for the start of next year.  I hope even though school is out you will stop by and visit.  I am presenting and attending many workshops and hope to have NEW ideas to share.
So looking ahead here is a September calendar to keep you focused and excited for next school year.  Let's fill it up this summer with great activities to encourage learning and promote the mastery of the Common Core Standards!

Thank you All

Just like our plants my "follower" list is growing!
Thank you all for your support.  You are awful quiet though!

All set to sing...

Schools out for summer!!
Yep, just two more days.
I am so excited as I just spent two days totally cleaning my room.
I think the custodians hate me as I must have filled 20 bags with things I threw away.
It is looking soooo good though and I feel great about closing it all up.
I have bins upon bins and hope to take some pictures tomorrow.
How much time do all of you have left or are you already out?

Me and My Family!

Spending three days with my three sons inspired me to get this "family" unit started.
I am an "empty nester" and treasure the moments they can all come home together.
