I’m popping in quickly on my last day of fall break to share my visual plans for this week with you. These plans are kinda minimal because I could spend all day on my visual plans but I decided that I’d rather enjoy my last day of fall break.
This week, we are working on cause and effect in reading. I absolutely love teaching cause and effect because there is so much that you can do with it. (By the way, you should check out Readworks. They have free units with ideas for teaching many comprehension skills.)
Math is another story this week. I do not enjoy teaching money. I don’t know who decided that children should first be introduced to money in 2nd grade but I’m not a fan. I’m relying on my bloggy friends to get me through teaching about money by using their amazing ideas.
I'm with you on teaching money. I was very happy to be finished with that unit. I use envision also. In my opinion envision goes through money too fast and I have to supplement a lot! I also think k it is crazy that someone determined that students shouldn't be taught money til 2nd grade. Also, I'm a Vols fan! GBO!!!!
Hey Courtney – I gave you a little shout on on my blog today. How great is that mom?!? I still have tons of math pages to tear out…some have been with mom help and some on my lunch breaks. :o/
