Kindergarten Common Core

As you can clearly see I have been busy busy with the beginning of the school year.  It has been fun but chaotic and exhausting too.  I know the beginning of the year is always like that, but I feel like it has been extra crazy because 1) I am now team leader = extra responsibilities and 2) we had to create 2 new kindergarten classes and hire 2 new teachers after the school year started due to an overwhelming amount of late starters/registers.  Anyway, it has been great getting to know my new colleagues, kiddos (boy do we have a young K bunch this year), and administration.  I just know this year is going to be great!  

I have been keeping up with reading many blogs and see that many of you are just starting the common core this year.  Fortunately we implemented them last year, but our curriculum is constantly being adjusted because the materials/resources we have to use do not necessarily align with the common core standards.  Our fool proof lesson plans still have to be adjusted, but we are getting there with the help of all sorts of training and resources.  

One particular resource that I would love to try is the Kindergarten Common Core Workbook!  

This book contains over 600 posters, worksheets, and activities that align with both the Math and Reading Common Core Standards.  What a great resource this would be! If you're interested in learning more click the hyperlink above and enjoy!
