So, the summer reading has begun. These are the first three on my list. I just started this one and I love it. I am dreaming about the I CAN charts I want to make to help me and the student's use the work stations more effectively. Good thing my new classroom has 975 square feet because I am going to need every foot to cram full of great learning stations! I will post the I CAN posters after I make them.
I devoured this book as soon as I got it! Love, Love, Love some of the ideas. I started raiding the dollar stores, Hobby Lobby, Jo Ann Fabric and Michael's after I looked through this book. Garage sales aren't safe either this summer. This really got my creative juices flowing, although the bank account is not very happy about it. I find myself dreaming about all the neat things I can do to create learning spaces for the next school year. I will take pictures of what I come up with in August. Wish I could get into my classroom now.
I haven't started this one yet. Hopefully next week. I have about eight books I want to get through this summer. This one looks very interesting. I am really having to think about how to go from learning centers to literacy centers. I love learning but my brain is going into over drive. Wonder which books I will end up taking to the beach in two weeks? I know, I am a dork and should leave the books at home and take something not school related!
