Year 3 - Day 180 - June 28

My virtually unlimited supply of red Gatorade has kept me going this week. I have never used my brain in the way we're working (we all feel that way!) and while we're being productive in the long run, there has been much head banging on the desk along the way. We are a good team though, and we will get there! (Hopefully.) ;)

Year 3 - Day 178 - June 26

As our work continues, we had to switch to different chart paper. Today we did chart paper AND color coding. That's how you know we teach elementary school. This chart is the progressions in the Language Arts Common Core Curriculum. The differences in reading, writing, speaking & listening, and language between 2nd/3rd, 3rd/4th, and 4th/5th. Our brains still hurt, but this was one of the most useful things I've done when it comes to understanding what we have to teach!

Year 3 - Day 177 - June 25

I'm working all this week on a project with some other teachers. We are all tech friendly people, but we resorted to chart paper and sticky notes because we needed a new visual! Our brains hurt. Big time.
