My Reading Focus Wall

I use California Treasures and I have struggled with the "Big Question Wall". I created these labels to help organize my materials and concepts. Every week I put up the new vocabulary cards (the vocabulary cards are in plastic page protectors), story cards, and focus items. It helps me stay on track and it helps the children remember what concepts we are focusing on every week. The wall is in an accessible location and I often observed my students using the wall during class as a reference.

Welcome Back to School

Welcome back to school! It is hard to believe that my summer is over already. I have already been back in the classroom with my new group of Firsties for 10 days and they are surely bundles of energy. I can't seem to drink enough coffee to keep up, not to mention that my Keurig is on its last leg....UGH!
