Kindergarten Name Writing Assessment
One of the biggest portions of daily life in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten is the ability to write one's first and last name. Early Elementary teachers see common issues in child's writing of their names that includes, but is not limited to: omissions, reversals, and general messiness. With this assessment, a teacher can actively see the student's growth in writing their name. Each quarter the student writes their name and their progress is tracked in their portfolio!

Addition Word Problem
The Common Core Standards ask us to create effective learners who can see a problem and solve it correctly in a variety of ways. It is no longer about the “answer” or the “destination,” but rather a push for the identifying the “question” or “problem”, seeing multiple ways to apply oneself to solve it, and utilizing these learning tools on the “journey.” I have created these addition word problems to help students not only understand the process of addition, but to help them fully explore how to

Behavior Chart (Visual Behavior Chart)
As a kindergarten teacher of 10 years, I began getting frustrated that my students could not understand the reason they were receiving a behavior chart. I also was frustrated that behavior charts only focused on the negative behavior rather than clearly defining the better behavior choice. Hence, this VISUAL behavior chart was born! It includes pictures of the negative behavior and emphasizes the positive behavior that should have happened. It has been a huge hit with my classroom parents especi

Reading Log
As a teacher for over seven years, I know just how important reading at home is for a child’s success in school. Year after year, I try new reading logs because the ones I get returned from parents either are blank, partially filled out, or a parent scrambles and just fills in the whole reading log. All of these options make me question if there is any reading at all going on at home. So this year instead of the just imploring that a parent read to his/her 15-20 minutes at night…I decided to swi

I need my teacher's help/Classroom Management
Everyone that is a teacher knows that a raised hand can mean multiple things. The student either has to go to the bathroom, nurse, needs or your help, or has a question. Even more than that we all know how many students raise their hand at one time. One of my biggest worries is that a student will be raising their hand because they need help and do not understand something that is being taught. As the only teacher of 26 students without assistance or an aide, it can be a daunting task to make su

Classroom Hand Signals/ Bathroom/Nurse/Office Pass
As a teacher we all know the feeling when you are the middle of a jammed packed lesson and students are raising their hand. I have created a simple system where students put a certain amount of fingers up to indicate what they need. For example: 1 finger= pencil, 2 fingers=tissue, 3 fingers=bathroom, 4 fingers=nurse, and 5 fingers=main office. It allows you to judge a student’s need based on their hand signal and easily send them without breaking up a lesson to ask what they need. It makes the c

Experience
I have been teaching Kindergarten for four (4) years, but I have been dreaming and pretending to be a teacher since I was born.
Teaching style
I view my students as sponges. They soak up learning by discovering the world around them within and outside of our classrooms. I believe in a classroom discovery setting where we do not give the students the knowledge rather we give them the tools to obtain and discover learning through a multi-sensory approach.
