Common Core

I could go on and on about the struggles of implementing common core. I think my biggest struggle has been trying to balance my personal life with my job. This fortune from a cookie sums it all up... I have it taped to my desk at school to remind me that I'm doing my best.

Location Circles

In Social Studies, we study a lot about community. We also have map skills and one skill is to give the general and specific location of a place. So, we made circles that showed the different names for where we live (My house, City, County, State, Country, Continent, Planet, and Solar System). We tied in solar system to go with our science! They turned out really cute. Here's a picture of my example, since I sent them home without taking a picture of all the circles.

Bulletin Board - Spotlight on Great Characters

One of our CC standards we have worked on is character traits, so I decided to incorporate that into my board.

I wish my board was bigger because I can hardly fit everybody's work on there!
