I am in my sixth year teaching kindergarten and absolutely LOVE what I do. I am so inspired by all of the wonderful teachers and their great ideas in "Blogland", I am hoping that I can give back :).

BUILD

Hello there friends!  When I return from track out I am thinking of changing the way I do math.  I have noticed pins on Pinterest that refer to a management system that is similar to the Daily 5 called BUILD. I am having a hard time finding more information about this program.  So far I have not been able to find a book or official web site, if you know of one, please let me know!  In the meantime, I have found several helpful blogs so I think I am going to go ahead and get it started when I return from track out!  I made these posters to label each bin.  I can't figure out how to embed an image of the google doc, BUT if you click the link below you should be able to access the posters :)

You can check out more BUILD information here:
Cassie's blog is full of helpful information :)

Track Out!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I teach at a year round school and I am now "tracked out" for the next week.  I am looking forward to some major R and R as well as a trip to Arizona to visit some friends.  I am also hoping to use my free time to create some more fun things for my classroom!  I use the Daily 5 literacy framework and I NEED new sight word Word Work activities.  What sight word list do you use?  I always say, it would have been GREAT if CCSS created a nation-wide sight word list that we all could use!  Anyways....I spent this weekend working on my first Teachers Pay Teachers Product!
