Kindergarten Common Core

I have been teaching Kindergarten for 12 years now and this year our district is moving to the new Common Core Standards. My school has jumped the gun and we started the school year with the new Common Core Standards in our classrooms, instead of waiting until second semester like the rest of the District. Most teachers are a little freaked out by this, but I am here to tell you that there is no reason to be! Why? This book right here is the answer! I had the opportunity to download the sample and have loved what I have seen! You can go here "Kindergarten Common Core" to check it out!

There is over 600 pages of valuable information in this baby! Each standard is there and written out for your bulletin boards already! Each standard even has activities to go with it and the cutest clip art to boot! We know as Kindergarten teachers we are all into cuteness! Well I'm telling you this is the whole enchilada! The whole Kindergarten blogging world is talking about it and we know we have some great resources out there! So do yourself a favor and if you teach Kinder check out the Kindergarten Common Core book and you will thank yourself! I promise!

Why Kindergarten Kindness?

Hello to all my fellow Kindergarten teachers!!! I just love all the sharing and support that is out there in blogging and I wanted to join in the fun! I was going to wait until September, but Fran over in Kindergarten Crayons shared a linky party and I wanted to join. I named my blog Kindergarten Kindness because I truly believe that Kinder teachers (all teachers really) are so kind and always willing to help. In the last month I have been the recipient of a tremendous amount of ideas and I hope I am able to pay it forward and someone gets an idea or two from me. It might take me a while to get a handle on this blogging and making my site cute, but until then hang on and visit often!


Love,


Mrs. O
