Measure Up K-1

When I put together a product - there is a part of me that goes with it when I post it to my digital shops. 

They are like babies - nurtured, loved and they grow when others purchase them and use them.

I love the designing part, the searching of Curriculum, organising tasks and getting it right. The link between product and assessment is really important to me.

Listening to Reading

Here is our brainstorm for "Listening To Reading"

 

Here is our typed up anchor chart for our shared space. 

Across the team and the school we have a united approach to brainstorming, language and the display of them. 

So regardless of which teacher has you - the expectations are the same. 

We have most children in 3-6 with leased netbooks and the small number of students who do not lease them have access to a laptop.

Our P-2 students have a set of netbooks to share and we use 5 splitters to have up to 5 on a netbook.

The students who lease them get to take them home each day and over the holidays. The response we get and increased level of skills is fantastic. 

Happy Valentine Day and a Math Bundle

Real life and blogging life sometimes collide! Just love Valentine Day.

I am a real romantic at heart and Tony and I have known each other since 1985...

These gorgeous flowers were delivered to work today from my husband. 

My teaching partner, Fiona, also had flowers delivered by her husband - we are two lucky ladies.

We were both called up to the office at break time and our kids thought we were in trouble.

Our kids reactions were funny. One child couldn't understand why a man would do this at all, she kept asking questions. touching them and shaking her head. 

Here are some skip counting tasks for Math work - click on the image to go to my store. There is work on patterning, collections, ten frames, missing numbers, stories for 14, matching collections and roll and cover.
