Common Core is here!!!! Time to get ready!

I spend Wednesday and Thursday at a Common Core training.  I admit...on Wednesday night my brain was mush! It was A LOT of information and I just couldn't wrap my mind around it.  But, on Thursday afternoon I was feeling a lot better. I even came home and worked on a checklist for K, 1st and 2nd ELA standards. 
Check them out -- they are free!!!!

I'm pleasantly overwhelmed....

WOW! I haven't had any time to work on my newly designed blog. So I thought I would add a little something.  I started looking around at other first grade blogs and OMGoodness!!! FANTASTIC!  Jennifer at First Grade Blue Skies

has tons and tons of great stuff. I have added lots of new blogs on my Blog List. And to be honest I haven't had a chance to look at all of them....but I will, and I can't wait.
