2012 Bloggy Best and Brightest Linky Party

I'm linking up with Bunting, Books and Bainbridge for a linky party.


My  BEST Posts in 2012 were(I linked to each of them!)

Homework Calendars - Freebie

Lesson Plan Diva is doing a Homework Linky Party! Be sure to check it out and link up!


This year in Kindergarten we started using activity-type Homework Calendars(count the cans in your kitchen, etc.) But since December, we have started using revised versions of these Homework Calendars (FREE here).

Looking back, this internet find  was sooo lucky. It was awesome to be able to edit these calendars. I did  a few more edits after they went home, because some of the parents had trouble with the directions.


My favorite was...

I felt like I finally got some pictures to post and got organized enough to get them posted in the right month...usually I am behind! :)

I am so happy that 2013 is right around the corner. 2012 has not been easy in many ways.

Best wishes to you and yours for the coming new year!

Daily 5 Chapter 6 Linky Party...freebie links!

 

This chapter is being covered by 2 different blogs:

 
Experimenting with words:
I found this chapter to be the easiest to implement, because I have about a zillion ideas in my head for word work. And about a zillion little games, etc., for word work. But it occurred to me that my huge box of file folders can be used for word work…matching upper/lowercase, putting letters in order, matching beginning sounds, etc. File folder games are sooo old school, but I seem to forget about them most of the time.
Check out these awesome cards I found!

As for writing, we use these cards every week or two when we start a new unit. I let the kids take them out of the pocket chart to use in their writing.  

Memorize high frequency words:

We do “spelling” every day. We practice our 2 sight words for the week by using them in a sentence, writing them in the air, and writing them on our papers.  I have been really into “write the room” lately too.

What materials do I have/ would I like to get?
    
At this point, I can’t even remember what I have…time to clean!
          
How will I store them?

I usually store my word work in baskets, or both in one laundry basket.

Where will students work?

Students will work at their seats.

I did not see a place for Chapter 7, so I guess this is the end! :)
