I love these assessments. It is difficult to find assessments for CC that assess what you want them to. Thank you for making this an easier task. Do you plan to create assessments for all of your units? We are having so much fun with the shapes unit I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for the end of the year!

If I count all your units together, they are only total 22 weeks. What do you do beyond that? Our first grade team really likes these units and wants to know more. We also want to purchase the math journals. I see in previous posts you will be doing assessments for these units. I'm just really worried about the remaining weeks of school.
May 16, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey, I'm so glad y'all are enjoying the units. I have just started "revamping" units 1-4. After teaching the units a complete year, I am making some minor changes to them and adding a few new ideas, charts, songs, and a few more activities. I don't know if you purchased unit 5, but that unit was a little different than the others. It had a plan for each day with had the materials, teach point, mini lesson and student work. I am going back to all the units and including that for each day. Yes, I am also working on bundling the assessments. The are all already made, so that should be coming soon. In teaching this unit an entire year, I saw where some things needed more days or where I needed to quickly add something in that wasn't. That will be included in the new uploaded units. You can just re-download when I post. I am adding more days to the units so that should make it more than 22 weeks. We have about 3 weeks between Christmas and the end of the year that we don't really do full on math lessons, due to programs, festivals, and that sort of thing. Talk with your principal and see if she might be interested in professional development. I do math consulting and do professional development on first grade core and go in-depth with the units and how to effectively teach them. My email is lizziepink1@gmail.com
I can't say enough about the deep thinking and gains my students made from the math journals. I hight recommend them. They are a deep thinking tool. We do math buddies 3 days a week and they actually do their math journal with their buddy for morning work and on their own Tuesdays and Thursdays. In my PD we do an in-depth look at how to set up the math journal, look at it's components, and how to use it as a deep thinking tool. I hope this helps. :)

Hey.... They sell them at the dollar store in the toy section. They grow in water. I'm going to reupload the unit tomorrow night with pics of the lesson and the grow animals. We did it today and we're doing the follow up lesson tomorrow. It was so fun they loved it. I adde glitter to the water after the first lesson as magic grow dust.... They loved it!

EKilgore (TpT Seller) re: Math Common Core/ First Grade- Unit 3 Assessments
Do you have more assessments that go with your other units. Also, do you have any units beyond unit 4? The first grade team at our school loves your units and would love to see more to help us get our common core units in place. Nice work!!!
April 22, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey!! I'm so glad y'all are seeing success. I do have one more unit and I'm almost finished. I hope to have it posted by the end of the week. I do have assessments for all of the units and I'm making that a summer project. I'll have all of them posted some time in June. I do consulting in schools on math Common Core, specifically geared toward 1st grade. The PD is an indepth look at the units, the core, and how to assess. If your principal is interested, she can contact me at lizziepink1@gmail.com

You are so cute!!! I am working on it as we speak and hope to possibly have it out early next week!! It's a fun one. This will be the last unit. :) Happy Math Teaching
April 11, 2013
tptLaura55 re: 1st Grade- Common Core Math Journal 4th edition
Do you just have them do math journal 3 times per week (with buddy), or do you do 5 times per week (2 days without buddies]. If you do them 5 times per week, when do you begin in fall? I'm already planning ahead for fall! I really enjoy using the math journals in my classroom...in addition to your math units.
April 2, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey!1 I'm so excited you're doing the math journals too! Isn't it amazing what they come up with? I don't even introduce the concept of math buddies until after Thanksgiving. They work on their own for a while. Then we do math buddies MWF and on your own TTh. We do math journals all 5 days. I'm working on the last unit (5) I hope to be finished soon. I will be adding a things to all the units over the next month or two, so check for updates. I am adding a lot to unit 1. :) Talk soon, Lizzie

Do you have the common core math units for 1stgrade for the entire year? The ones I am finding only go through the first 13 weeks
March 30, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Yes I am writing them as I teach them. I will have the full set by the start of summer. :)
April 2, 2013
tptLaura55 re: Unit 4- First Grade Math CC (shapes, time, and balancing equations)
On page 99 did you intend for the first card to read 3+2, instead of 2+3? It doesn't match the number bond page (page 98) as written. I have enjoyed your ideas this year! We are doing near doubles beginning this week and this activity is perfect!
March 10, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey thanks so much for noting that...I am fixing it right now and will reupload.

Buford Girl (TpT Seller) re: Unit 1- First Grade Math CC- Building Number Sense
Hi Elizabeth...your other common core units tell the strands of the common core that are covered in the unit on your description...do you have those strands listed somewhere for this unit?
Thank you!
Bonnie
Thank you!
Bonnie
March 5, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey Bonnie, I don't have them for the first unit. I will be revamping unit 1 this summer and adding the standards. Most of the standards for that unit come from Number and Operations, and NBT.

Are you developing other math units that cover the whole year?
March 5, 2013

All of the units put together are a complete plan for the entire year. It will start with 1 and finish with 5. They are not all compiled together as a bundle. Lizzie
March 5, 2013
427611627 re: Unit 1- First Grade Math CC- Building Number Sense
Do you have units for the whole year?
March 4, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Yes, I have units 1 through 4 complete and all sold seperately. They all pick up where the last one left off. They are all listed in my store. Have you tried the journals yet? They are an awesome companion with the units. My class starts the day with journal and we check at the start of math. Happy math teaching!

SmartCookieLady re: Fluency Folder for first grade
This is such a great resource! I've been trying to come up with a way to organize my sight word instruction while having it be meaningful for the kids, and this is great. I have been trying to incorporate poems, too. I am a little new to Teachers Pay Teachers and am not sure if the order stays the same when doing a search. Could you share the name of the resource or the teacher you downloaded the poems from? Thanks again for sharing this!
March 2, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey I'm so glad you are enjoying the fluency folder. The poetry I bought is called sight word poetry. It's 15 dollars I think but we'll worth it.

Is your next unit of common core math standards coming out soon? I loved the first three!
January 11, 2013
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey!1 Funny you should ask, because I am just working on the last week of it right now. Our whole family was hit with the flu, so it set me back a bit. I am so glad your class loved the first three units. My class and the 9 other first grades classes are enjoying them too. The next one focuses on shapes, time, loops back to addition and subtraction and the big wammee...... balancing equations. Happy Teaching, Lizzie

teacup5 re: 1st Grade- Common Core Math Journal 3rd Edition
So how should the question be asked so they know they have that choice or is there a lesson you have taught beforehand so they know?
November 24, 2012
teacup5 re: 1st Grade- Common Core Math Journal 3rd Edition
I love your journal but I do not understand how these questions are a double venn diagram...can you explain?
Thanks,
Lauren
Thanks,
Lauren
November 20, 2012
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey! Thanks for purchasing the journal. A double venn means that students can answer strictly to one side or put their marker in the middle for a both choice. Students were posed the questions about keeping a snowman warmer and favorite fairy tale. They can either answer they think only a hat keeps a snowman warm, only a scarf, both, or neither. The fairy tale one works the same way. They can choose only cinderella, only goldilocks or they can have more than one favorite fairy tale and put it in the middle . (like me) I hope this helps. Happy Thanksgiving

Sorry I didn't receive your response..and thanks and most likely will be buying your units as well:) are your units specific core focused or program based? And thanks for making my life easier! Just got diagnosed with breast cancer and having these types of activities makes sure that learning is happening when I am no there!
November 11, 2012

Oh gosh I am so sorry to here that. My units are strictly common core based. Leave me your email and I would love to send u the mat journal when I finish

Noticed that our days of the year do not exactly match up so had to change some of my graphing questions. I have purchased through day 50...do you or will you have 51 through 180? love the work my students are doing:)
November 3, 2012
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey...I'm so glad your students are doing so well with the journal,I am loving it as we'll! Yes I definitely plan to make the math journal through the end of the year. It probably won't be ready for two weeks I'm finishing up a gigantic unit 3 common core all bases around place value. Happy math teaching!

stovallh re: Spooktacular Halloween Math Workstations- Common Core Aligned
Are you making more Common Core Math Units? My students love, love, love the activites!
October 28, 2012
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey! Awwww.....I'm so happy y'all have as much fun as we do with math. Math has become fun and I can see a huge difference in my kids this year than last year. I love love love this approach to teaching! I am right in the middle of my next unit (3). I hope to have it out in the next few days. It includes lots of place value, missing add in, and more addition and subtraction. Thanks for the sweet comment, Lizzie
October 28, 2012
msalphabet re: Fluency Folder for first grade
I love this! I teach Kindergarten and send home fluency practice each week. Is there any chance you can create this for Kindergarten or do you know of anyone who has done something like this for K?
Thanks! ;)

Thanks!
Thanks!
October 25, 2012
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey I just started it and hopefully will be finished in a few days. It focuses on place value and missing add in. I am so glad you were able to use it in your classroom. Did you pair it with the journal? I am finding the journal is really making my kids think.

Hi Elizabeth! I love your math units and I have purchased weeks 1-4 and 5-8. Are you working on another one? My kiddos are loving the activities and the homework. Also, could you tell me a little about Math Talk? I am a little confused.
Thanks!
Thanks!
October 20, 2012
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey! Sorry it took me so long to reply but I just realized you left a question. :) Yes I am working on unit 3 and hope to have it finished in a few days. Math Talk is getting our kids talking about math in a form of a converstaion. I have the math talk support on lots of the math mats to help generate the conversation. In my classroom we do math talk everyday with math journal and with whatever math mat they are working on. We have support cards to do journal with.... on my math journal we have a # of the day and when we have math meeting I pose the question how can you show the number 12. The kids start the conversation on their own and the one child will agree or disagee and supply reason and evidence to support their answer. Hope this helps:) Lizzie

What do you do for math homework?
October 14, 2012

Hey...I only give math homework twice a week,Tuesday and Thursdays. I give the little half sheets at the end of my units.Lots of them are games. I really try not to send too much because we do such intense thinking all day. Happy math teaching

gbusse re: Short Vowel Decodable Books
I am interested in these but there are no photos, and the description doesn't say what you get. How many books, and what is covered? THX!
October 6, 2012
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey!! Thank you so much for telling me about the thumbnails pics. I have been having that problem with a few of my items. I uploaded the file again with new thumbnails. I wrote these short vowel decodable books, so my students could have real live like books on their level for their good fit bags. I was finding at the beginning of this year that my kids were struggling to find good fit books from our class library. I didn't want their reading confidence to be compromised so I wrote these and give a new one out each week as we learn the short vowels. There are 5 books for each vowel and then an ack book. Each book has 10 pages but I run mine front and back and staple. It winds up being only 5 pages per book. I can tell you that they love them and read them all the time in readers workshop. Happy Reading, Lizzie

Hey Felice, Yes, I definitely plan too. I will probably get started on the next on in a few days. I am so glad you like it and use it in your room. I am loving Common Core.

September 15, 2012
yodacrisscross (TpT Seller) re: Fluency Folder/ First Grade/ 2nd Semester
CAn you explain how you would use this?
June 26, 2012
Elizabeth Konecni (TpT Seller)
Hey!! I love this because it is so versatile. I actually use mine as a fluency folder for homework. I put it in a folder and give each child one then assign something from it each night and the parent has to sign off that they have heard their child read. This is a sure bet that each child in your class is reading each night. I also use it as an opening for my small groups. It really helps my strategic groups with word recognition and fluency. I have also heard many people put it in their buddy reading center. I hope this helps. I would be happy to email you a copy of my nightly schedule for homework reading. It tells the parents exactly what to read and where to sign. Happy Reading!!! :)

Yes I am definitely making one for second quarter!!! I have a one year old, so I have been so busy. I will finish it over the holidays and have it posted before we go back to school. I am so glad you are able to use it. I use it for nightly reading homework and it really has made their reading soar. Happy Holidays!!
