Differentiated Math Can Be SPOOKY FUN!
It's no secret I love to teach kinders math. Maybe it's because I feel like I can actually see kids loving math or maybe it's because it's just so darn fun. I love providing activities that can appeal to all the different intelligences in my classroom. It's a challenge and, admittably, I am not always successful . . . but when I am, I know it my the smiles, enthusiasm and laughter that is deafening (remember I have 26 kinders--it can get loud) during stations. While I ... VIEW POST

Halloween Word Work Planning
I'm scrambling this weekend to get things done. In some ways I see some progress happening with my kinders...we've hit 15 minutes of read to self, listen to reading is rocking and rolling and I have some good systems in place but with such a big class, I'm still tweaking how I want Daily 5 (my Daily 6) to look run once it's completely independent.
