As I am typing this I'm about to embark on my draft version of my children's reading and maths groups. I have their assessment data here from last year and I have looked at all their portfolios, tests and samples of work. I can't wait to be able to teach them all. All up I have 22 children from 5-6.
I am using Sparklebox for the group names which also come along with great print-outs.
I am also going to try and arrange my classroom (digitally) for the start of the year. I have been told a few times by educators that I will change my classroom over 10 times throughout the year. So I will keep tally of how many times and update my layout on this blog. You can also keep posted by liking my facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/Mrwestrocks. I will be using this online classroom planner and hopefully make it possible. It is up on my pins on Pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/pin/379850549790871215/ but also a selection of awesome classroom layouts from teachers from the USA. Use this here or the selection of 5 different websites that let you design your classroom layout. http://classroom.4teachers.org/
Well this post is short, sharp and sweet. The sweet part is that you can pay old school Donkey Kong online here. But finish your work first.
Blessings,
Mr West
