Math Workstations Chapter 6: Place Value

For weeks, I have been stalking the wonderful blogs participating in the Math Workstations Book Study.  I did not have my own blog at the beginning of the summer, but now, I am excited to say I do, which means I can finally share some of my own goodies!  I made this version of Place Value War to go along with this chapter's resources.  It is similar to a game from Really Good Stuff.  The download includes two versions--one with numbers from 0-100 and one from 100-1000.  I hope it is useful for some of you ladies! I have learned so much from reading your blogs--thank you so much for your generosity and wonderful resources! I hope to share more soon!

First Blog Post!

Yay! I'm so excited to finally have a blog of my very own! I've been on Summer "break" for three weeks, and I cannot wait to get back into my classroom to set up and get ready for this next school year! Thus far, it has been a busy summer with my new baby girl and trying to get some school things done in between...Here is what I've done so far and what is left to do...

• Created CAFE Chart Headings and Strategy Cards
• Printed and Laminated Classroom Jobs Pocket Chart Icons

I am looking forward to trying some new things this year especially after taking a break for my maternity leave last year. I can't wait to share some of my adventures as I fully implement the CAFE assessment system into my Reading Workshop and conduct a full uninterrupted year of Writing Workshop. I can see big things in the future!
