Since we are only teaching one more week of Foresman we (Silverhill K teachers) picked from the three remaining books and have skipped 6-4 and went to 6-5 for this week.  You can find resources for 6-5 by clicking on reading, clicking on Unit 6, clicking on 6.5.  I have uploaded some worksheets.  The whiteboard site is down at the moment so when it comes up, I will begin uploading smart files for 6-5.    Shelley

Sorry about the site going up and down.  That’s the pitfall of technology; sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t! IT services is aware of the problem and other blogs in the county are doing the same thing.  I am sure the problem will be located and corrected soon.  Be sure and leave a comment on one of the posts before leaving the site!  You do this by clicking on comments in the right hand corner of the post you want to comment on.

Thanks!

Many of you have requested a link to the Kindergarten Kove site and the Waltke Web site for Scott Foresman.  You can click on their name in this post and it will take it to their site.  Some sites I use for the smart files are the Foresman Pearson site to access the teacher’s textbook and leveled readers and United Streaming to find movies and movie clips.  You have to sign up for these accounts but, the cost is paid by the district so there is no cost to you.  If you haven’t got your account yet, it is very worth doing so.

What are some other favorite sites that you use for resources?  Post them in the comment section of this post.

There is some confusion about registering.  The box to the right hand side is for administration of the site.  You do not have to register to use the site.  The only time you need a password/enrollment key is when you click on the whiteboard resource links.  You will then be prompted to enter the password I emailed you.

Welcome BCBE Kindergarten teachers!  This is our site to collaborate, share and post resources.  It will only be as good as WE make it.  Please forward any resources you would like to see uploaded to sgriffiths@bcbe.org.

I have uploaded files to 5.5 thru 6.2 Reading and 11-1 to 11-8 Math.  You will need a password to get to the Smartfiles.  I will send this password via email.  Check them out and please post comments to this post.  IT Services has been good enough to allow us this space and the time to set it up for us.  Let’s show our appreciation by utilizing it to the best we can!

There are over 120 Kindergarten teachers in Baldwin County.  We are all teaching to the same standards from the same textbooks.  Think of all the resources spread across the county.  A teacher’s time is so limited and in so much demand.  Let’s work smarter and share the work.  Think of the kindergarten program we can create across OUR county!
