It's time to start Math Workshop and I'm so ready.
The kids are ready.
I spent about 30 minutes today explaining all of the procedures about how we rotate. We did a mini-simulation of the rotation, too. Everything went off without a hitch. I'm hopeful that tomorrow will be a smooth transition into Math Workshop.
Be careful what you wish for...I know, I know.
The time spent today preparing, I hope, is going to be the precursor to the success.
I spent time discussing the board that has been posted in my room all year. Light bulbs went off! Some students were like, "Oh, now I get it."
See, I've been telling them and leaving little hints about rotating all year, but now with the explanation and the trial run, they feel as if they are truly ready.
I know they are ready.
I'll be back tomorrow to tell you how it went.
Wish me luck!

Can't wait to read about it! I'm sure it will be amazing!!! I want to start something similar this year, too. I think it will be the perfect compliment to our daily 5/Cafe. Btw - that rotation board is fabulous!

I'm starting them on Monday! Good luck to you! I've already started my reading centers, so hopefully, it will be a smooth transition. We are using a brand new math program, so I'm still figuring out the best schedule.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, I always used VocabularySpellingCity's math vocabulary on the interactive whiteboard as one of my centers. My students love it! http://www.spellingcity.com/math-vocabulary.html
