Peek at my Week... And so it begins!

This is my 3rd year of sharing my lesson plans on my blog!
WHAT?!
It does not seem that long ago!
Here is the news... I actually do not start with my kinder friends until next week, but I have had quite a few people ask about how I structure my day and how I do visual lesson plans. I hope this will help!
You will also be able to link up your lesson plans if you are a blogger. Simply grab my graphic at the end of this post! I love looking at how other people structure their day!
First... this is what I plan to place in my student binders this year. I used to just put a schedule... then I thought... Do parents really know what Shared Reading is? Do they know what Guided Reading is? If my desire is to inform them, I better speak in a language they know.

I am also asked what I "use" for various parts of my day. I hope this will help!

Like I said above, I have been sharing my visual lesson plans for the last 3 years. A while back I created a video on how I make them. They have not changed much over the years, so this video will still do the trick. If you are ready to hear my voice (and you have had your coffee... AND you are in good health) carry on!

I call this section...

Catchy... huh?

Each video has a 5 minute limit... so this will be done in sections.


If you have recovered from the agony of hearing my voice... continue below!


In the words of Lynn Anderson, "I beg your pardon. I never promised you a rose garden."
Back to lesson plans... The first one you make is the most labor intensive. However, after the first one it gets SO much easier.

Good luck! Be brave!
