A Saturday post? Yup!

Happy Saturday everyone! I rarely post on Saturdays but I here I am!

We continued our numbers through 20 centers this week and the kids are gobbling it up! (haha, since Thanksgiving is coming, haha) Harry Kindergarten's Numbers in the Teens video has been really fun and engaging for the kiddos, thanks Harry!

Here are some shots of my kid in action...

This activity is part of my UPDATED Number Books

Uh, oh! He got carried away with the dot marker!

Look at this kiddo... she decided not to go on the traditional route to the treasure.

He's going for the more traditional route.

WOW! Look at her go!

I loved seeing the variation of work with all of my students. Our centers are only 15 minutes long so for some of them, I had the ships pre-cut so that they could focus on the number part. Others cut in 10 seconds and were gluing away in no time.
Check out my updated products The Number Book now with 11-20 and The Treasure Hunt with the number sequencing activity shown above. They are both $4 for now but the price will go up next week!

Last thing...
I have been reading a new blog that I LOVE! She is a special education teacher and the way she talks about her students is amazing. I think she belongs at my school but she doesn't! She is so close to 100 followers... head over and check her out!

Ok folks! Enjoy your weekend, I am spending mine with my veteran hubby. Don't forget to thank a veteran this weekend!

Kindergarten Common Core

Hello everybody!
I usually reserve my Saturday mornings for blog hoppin', sleepin' in and cuddling. I try to avoid opening up my laptop (I blog hop on my Google Reader app on my phone) because I ALWAYS get sucked in to working! Hello, my name is Vanessa and I'm a workaholic.
Anyway, I HAD to open up and write today because as I was blog hoppin I noticed this Kindergarten Common Core thing going around and I just had to know what the buzz was. Have you seen this workbook???

 

It is amazing! It is a workbook with worksheets, posters, activity centers... over 600 pages worth! At my school, we haven't completely moved to common core yet but we will next year and I have been on the hunt for fantastic resources just like this workbook! School workshops are great BUT I always have to think about how I can change things to fit kindergarten. Guess what? I don't have to do that when I get this workbook! I'm so excited! It includes something for ALL of the standards. ALL OF THEM. Wow. This is such a great resource for kindergarten teachers. I am totally going to talk to administration about getting these for each grade level at our school.

To summarize: Get this Kindergarten Common Core workbook ASAP.
