Common Core Posters for Math

Wow!  Many teachers in my district just finished up an intense power collaboration session to help with all of the new expectations coming in the fall.  The biggest one that we are all concerned with is the evaluation process and collecting student data.  Displaying student growth and tracking is huge, too.  Our teachers developed some rubrics and data books.  It all got my brain and creative juices flowing and I came up with these posters for each Common Core Math Standard for 1st grade.  Click here or on the picture to visit my Teachers Pay Teachers store.  :)   

I hope you like them and that you can find them useful in your classroom.  I'll be using this bad boys to shine up on my projector as we work through their data folders. 

Here is the freebie student data book that our team developed.  I got the go ahead to share this freebie.  :)

And now it is seriously time for some non-school related time.  :) 

 

 



 

Checking In

Whew! This was a nutty week and I got sick on top of it all. No wonder, this was on my to-do list from last week:

• Pre-Observation meeting (which meant I had to prepare the BEST lessons in the world for my principal to see during my Daily 5 90 minute block...plus, include Marzano's learning goal stuff.
• Halloween Party (always crazy super fun for the kids!)
• Observation (I don't care who you are, it's always nerve-racking)
• Report Cards (Plus helping the new teacher across the hall, which I don't mind AT ALL, just adds to the stress)
• PLUS 4 Master's work Assignments

So, I got sick and lost my voice, naturally.  Anyway, enough boo-hoo'ing, I created a quick "check-in" with my kiddos that I got from Pinterest and Marzano.  During Daily 5, especially when it's a bit too loud, I stop the class and have them rate themselves on their heart. 

For example, "Give yourself a 3 if you are on task and working well with a partner, give yourself a 2 it you are working well but are talking about something other than Daily 5, and give yourself a 1 if you are not working well-maybe arguing-or just totally off task."  The kids hold up their fingers and put them on their heart, kinda like saying the pledge of allegiance.  It's a quick way to get them to do some self-assessing.  I like it and I'm going to extend the rubric with our learning goals.

 

This is displayed in the class for the kids to reference.  :)
