Chapter #4... Now Let's Explore! Freebies Galore! Well it is finally my turn as I wrap up the year and start packing up my classroom. I feel honored to have the opportunity to discuss this chapter with the blogging community I have grown to love and respect so much. A big shout out to Deedee Wills since this was her vision and I hope this meets her expectations. Maybe this book will help us to bring more joy into our classrooms. The party begins right here so link up with me. Here are a set of cards to use as part of your daily routine. Next year I will post these on my website for parents to use at home. Another whole group activity I use for a quick whole group warm-up: I practice recognizing and ordering numbers from 1-10 by having kids wear these around their neck and putting themselves in order and saying, "My number is ___." I am also the queen of routine cards such as I have... Tell me some of the strategies you use. 2. Great Idea: "I Can" Chart: I love this idea and will implement it next year using photos to keep kids on task.
Addition & Subtraction Games Students place markers on the numbers 2-12. Students toss two 6-sided dice, find the sum and remove a marker from that number, if there is still one. The first player to remove all markers wins the game. This game can be used as addition practice or as an introduction to the probability of the different outcomes of rolling two dice. This game was developed by a Monmouth University student for the Probability Fair. Download the Face Off!
What is Guided Math? - Guided Math Guided Math is similar to Guided Reading in that the teacher puts the students into small groups and the students work on specific standards being taught in centers around the room. You should try your hardest to have all the centers hitting the same topic. Students are placed in ability level groups and taught the standards of the curriculum. Download What is Guided Math Click on one of the sheets below for a guide to what guided math will look like in your class. Guided Math Planning Sheet Guided Math Planning Sheet 2 Download Guided Math Plan 3 The first thing I say is make it work for you. Day 1- Pretest, mini lesson on topic, go over centers, whole group activity to get them thinking about concept (acceleration). FOR PRETEST you could give a 5 question quiz to see what the kids know. Day 2- Centers ** Day 3- Centers (Students will be doing 2 centers each day. 25 minutes per center) ** Day 4- Centers (Aim for about 4-5 kids per group) **
planning kindergarten standards-based math curriculum What are the thought processes that go on in a teacher’s mind when creating her own standards-based math curriculum? This might be a scary trip, but I invite you into my planning process. I hope to reveal how I learned to plan my guided math curriculum this past year. This isn’t meant to tell you exactly everything I taught and in what order, but to give you a guide on what the process looks like. To begin, I knew a few things that affected how I plan. I knew the standards that needed to be covered, mastered (sometimes those two are different) and the basic layout of the ways I could cover them in my classroom. I kept a checklist of the standards close by that we’d be covering in a quarter (nine weeks). Quarterly Standards I could have used some of our calendar math time (mainly in the spring) to give extra repetition, but I didn’t want to rely on that time. I couldn’t plan all of these on one day, nor in one planning “session”. a) the right amount of practice b) the right kind of practice
Illustrated Standards Count to 100 by ones and by tens. (see illustrations) Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1). Write numbers from 0 to 20. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object. Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger. Count to answer “how many?” Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies. Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. Fluently add and subtract within 5. Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes.
1000s FREE Preschool Printables and Kindergarten Teaching Aids - SparkleBox USA never ending story My literacy centers are a core part of our kindergarten schedule. They are active literacy centers that keep us on our toes and working so that I can work with small groups {ahem} teaching. Let me roll out my kindergarten retell literacy center directions and expectations for you and the 20 stories that make up this year-long center. I believe that literacy centers can accomplish Common Core Standards, while matching up with a 90 minute reading block goal and be less work for the teacher once in place. Most of the stories that I place into the retell literacy center are famous, but there may be one or two new ones for you. This is great news since you probably already have the tools needed to quickly implement a story or two with the stuff you already have. Kindergarten Retell Literacy Center Activities This literacy center is the one I enjoy “spying” on while I’m reading with my guided reading groups the most.
