My class this year is wonderful, darling, adorable, and brilliant! I adore them to pieces! They are the kind of class that makes you remember why you became a teacher in the first place... Kind of a contrast to last year!
Last year, I began using whole brain teaching concepts to help my difficult class find their niche and it really helped out. I had posted some of my materials I made to use in class including these cards which I laminated and put up as the rule cards.
They were great.
This year's class needs a lot less reminding. They are the self-starters, go-getters and happy-go-lucky type of kids that just get in the groove and get going.
They also are much happier to repeat back with gestures and sing along/chant along! Yay!
We have been working on a calendar routine this year that has been awesome. If you have a SmartBoard, I'd be happy to share it with you - keep in mind its been chopped together using some amazing resources from the world of teaching blogs. One important thing my kids do daily is our Math Notebook.... purchased from Teachers Pay Teachers by Cara Carroll.
I seriously could not live without that site!
If you haven't ever been on their website, or heard about it - go check it out!
