I have real actual followers! Welcome, welcome, welcome!
I'm also excited because I just got my new laptop today! I'm like a kid at Christmas! I can't wait for the weekend so I can spend some time exploring it.
Well, I spent today in a training session to learn about the 4 new math series our district is considering for K-8. I am one of the pilot teachers and we are going to spend 9 weeks exploring them in our classroom.
By the end of the day, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed!
There were definitely 2 choices that could work well in kindergarten but the other 2 I'm a bit nervous about.
These are the 4 choices and they all align with the CCSS:
Go! Math
My Math
Math in Focus
enVision Math
I would love to know if any of you currently use one of these series (at any grade level) and what do you think of it... :)

My First Upload & It's A Freebie!
I did it! I uploaded my first document and I'm offering it as a freebie! There are no graphics since I'm still figuring out all the Terms of Use! (Could it be more complicated?)
I made this for a friend who wanted something to use in a center with her new color word dice and the kiddos enjoyed it! I'm planning to use it this week as one of our centers.
To play, the children work with a partner or in groups of 3. They roll the color word dice and color in the corresponding box on the graph. When one player has a color reach the top, the game is over. There are 2 versions: On one they write a sentence with color words and on the other they answer questions about the graph.
I hope you can find a use for this, too! Enjoy!

Just Getting Started...
This is my 1st official blog and I'm so excited to be starting this new journey! I'm normally a very private person, so this is really forcing me to step leap outside my box.
I'm looking forward to sharing some of the things I do with my kinderkids. I'm part of an awesome kindergarten team and can't imagine working without them! There are a lot of scary changes happening with education in our state/district but we keep each other positive!
After much inspiration, I am working on creating my first materials to share and hope to post them ASAP. (Now, if only my computer would share my enthusiasm and co-operate with me!) *sigh*
