I first heard of BUILD from someone who commented on one of my pictures and told me I should look in to it. So I did. And I love it. There is a lot of different versions of BUILD, but this is the format that I follow. I use tubs to store all of my […]

Punctuation Police

January 29, 2015 by ·

I have had this idea swirling in my head since the beginning of the year that I was going to turn my classroom in to a crime scene where students have to be “punctuation police”. Kim Bearden does grammar police at RCA and when I went back last week, I just knew that I was […]

December BUILD Math Stations

December 16, 2014 by ·

What am I even doing trying to pretend like I have any good ideas the week before Christmas break. HA! Really, though.  Even though I feel like I pretty much already do B.U.I.L.D. in some sense. What am I talking about? Build is a concept that follows along the same lines as Daily 5, but for […]

Wednesday Word Problem

December 11, 2014 by ·

Wednesday Word Problem is a constant in my classroom. This is not my original idea…it came from the first school I worked at but I have stuck to it because the benefits of it have really helped my kids with problem solving.
