The curriculum I'm teaching covers all the standards so I haven't had to worry about it. All of the computer programs and games are through that curriculum as well. However, there are a LOT of teachers pay teachers sellers that are selling common-core aligned lessons. It's not ideal to have to buy things yourself, but if you are worried about covering everything that's what I would suggest. I do like the station rotations because I think it keeps the students engaged. I also like having the students move around from station to station so they're not sitting in the same spot for an hour. I think this also helps with engagement. I hope that helps!!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment and good luck with the rest of your year!<br /><br />ShelbyShelby - First Time Firstiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959382199899248697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889798338199383062.post-13960642198252450702014-01-18T07:57:29.337-08:002014-01-18T07:57:29.337-08:00Thanks for the comment!

Part of the reason I am having difficulty is that we do not have any curriculum pieces and there are a lot of standards. I find that I am stuck in a station rotation rut and I am not sure how to break out! :) Do you find that you are able to cover all of your ELA Common Core standards with the time and structure that you have?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09313440969625912427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889798338199383062.post-28933431379648042382014-01-17T18:47:46.710-08:002014-01-17T18:47:46.710-08:00Third grade is the lowest I've ever taught, so...Third grade is the lowest I've ever taught, so when I read about lower grades doing work with with partners and independently while their teachers pull small groups, it always amazes me, like during your math class. Maybe one day I'll get to teach a lower grade and try it out myself, but that thought makes me nervous!<br /><br />Mandy<br /><a href="http://www.the4thgradejourney.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The 4th Grade Journey</a>Mandy Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687287825933581048noreply@blogger.com
