Turkey Day Kinder Style

Time for a Facelift!

 



Spiders

 It has been a very busy week.  We learned:  the letter Ss, initial sounds, and the words: have, is, to, little, the, I and am.

 

 

 My students are adjusting well to the new calendar binders.  I am not!  But, they are learning so  much more than in years past.Sometimes it is time for change even if it is hard.

 

 

RTI & Progress Monitoring

 

Lately, I have been spending alot of time blog stalking

about RTI and progress monitoring.  I have been looking for 

materials that fit my routines and style of teaching. 

I think I have finally found a good fit:

Summer Project

Finicial Literacy, Dramatic Play

and Classroom Economy?

Through the help of Donor's Choose, pre-k pages,

and The Vanguard Firm; 

I am planning on incorporating a

classroom economy next year. 

Last year, I introduced the first part - dramatic play pizza shop. 

This year I plan to use a classroom economy based on

behavior and classroom jobs.  Students will be able to use

their earnings in the dramatic play stores instead of "buying" prizes.
