Chapter 3
What should your math work stations, look like, sound like and feel like?
I have not done math stations this year. That is the plan for next year:) I hope they look like the ones in this book!! lol I do want to make sure that I MODEL all the materials before I put them out in the stations. I want them to be a great place for the students to work and learn and have fun.
What does your management board look like?
I will be making a pocket chart- I think. I will be using their pictures for the board. I want to see some more ideas from all the other great bloggers.
How do you support math vocabulary (math talk cards) in your stations?
WOW - do I need to work on this. I have thought about making a word wall of sorts with math vocab. I want to add more of this and make sure that it is included in the stations. I also want to connect it with some Whole Brain Teaching concepts that use gestures for the words.
This is a great chapter! I need to sit and look at the schedule to fit this in!I am concerned that there is too much to do and not enough time.... I also worry about what I will put into these stations. I know that will be answered soon in the rest of the book.
Well, 3 1/2 days to go! Tomorrow I think we will be working on cleaning up some math materials:) and some other stuff... why is there still a list of things to do for the kids?? :)

I know what you mean! It is hard to fit it all in. I do like when Debbie Diller said to look at your schedule and basically cut out the fat. We are hoppin' all day long!

Thanks for joining the discussion. I bet as you close your classroom for the summer, you will start to look at what you have to make MWS work in your classroom. Finding time is a challenge for everyone; especially in k. I am sure you will be able to work it in.
ReplyDeleteIm also worried about the time. I have 2 blocks I could use for math= 30 mins for 17 students or 60 mins for 32-33 students. I am going to have to look back throught the chapter. Hang in there, You are almost at the end!!!!
