Masters

I've heard more info on the Masters in Teaching with emphasis on Whole Brain Teaching. It would consist of 11 courses, 33 units, over 20 months but the cost would be, after government grants, $2,500. The additional feature on the table is the requirement that teachers spend 2 weeks in Louisiana, during one summer, for intensive, face to face training. Apartments on campus would rent for approximately $80 per week according to the WBT status on Facebook.  I've been searching for a way to get my masters and I really want to pursue this! I am not sure how I sign up but want to immediately. It would only be $2,500 and that's awesome!! This is a huge opportunity to expand my teaching and learn from great teachers. 
I am just going to put it in God's hands and put my trust in Him!

Daily 5 Center Rotation Bookmarks

Here is a sample of the Daily 5 center bookmarks I've created! You can find them in my TpT store! There are six bookmarks. For those of you that are new to Daily 5, this is how the bookmarks work. Each kid chooses a bookmark. The three centers on their bookmark are the centers they do for the day. The first rotation will be the top picture. The second picture will be the second rotation and so on. In my class, we have only so much time and each rotation is 20 mins long. We will not be using the bookmarks until we have rehearsed all the Daily 5 rules and practiced, practiced and practiced. It's probably about 6 weeks into school until they are free to choose a bookmark. Until then, it's teacher's choice so they can build their stamina. I will tell you, when they do get to start using the bookmarks, it's awesome to see them work so quiet while still engaged in learning!
