Common Core Kid Friendly K5 ELA Standards Freebie




I am thrilled to have reached over 200 followers!  To celebrate this occasion and my new blog design, I am posting my compilation of  Teacher/Parent/Kid-Friendly ELA Common Core State Standards for Kindergarten.    These are designed to be used in a pocket chart.  I hope you can use them!
I am also participating in Manic Monday, which is always great!

Download the ELA CCSS for K5 here!
If you downloaded before today, 6/28/12, please do so again.  There was a mistake.

Honey Bunch Blog Design






What a wonderful experience it has been to work with Misty and Erika of The Honey Bunch blog design team. I am so excited to unveil my new design.  
I am also excited that Nikki of Melonheadz fame has created something special for me too!  
This has been such a great experience!  I am so glad that I chose them to make my design ideas a reality!  
I love my new look!

Daily 5 Wiki

Today is the last day of my course!  My vacation officially begins today!
I want to share this wonderful Wiki for finding Daily 5 resources!

KinderTastic has great ideas for Daily 5!  Check out the cute task cards for Daily 5!

This blog by Mrs. Maiolo has a great collection of activities for Daily 5!

This webpage from Sanjuan USD has a great collection of Word Work activities and much more!  I use their resources all the time!

There is so much to find that your best bet is to visit Pinterest and search for Daily 5!

Use that oil drip pan for Word Work:

Word wall center children read the word to a partner, then build the word with the magnet letters.  This is made with a large oil drip pan from an auto parts store:)
