It sounds like the perfect fit for us now, and I appreciate your honesty about what was challenging for you in this method, because I will have the same reactions. It will help to know they are coming so I can be prepared to change the way I perceive them. ( I keep trying to sign in as myself, but can't seem to get it to work. It's Jen F.

Your ideas for getting students motivated are clearly working.<br /><br />As my first sprout said, you should start your own school. Also, thanks for the muffins!

For example, my Writing Binder has sections for informational writing, narrative writing, and opinion writing (these are the 3 types of writing used in the Common Core standards). Within each section are resources that I would use to help my child learn strategies for that type of writing-- things like graphic organizers, story starters, etc. I pull resources from all over the internet and my old school materials, so it helps to have them sorted according to subject.<br /><br />The bins are also just a way for me to organize. I have some book baskets sorted by theme (right now, we have a "Home & Family" basket as well as an "ABC Books" basket). I also keep a bin of "Just Right" books that First Sprout can read independently and a bin of children's magazines to introduce more informational reading material. There are also baskets with math manipulatives: Unifix cubes, Tinker Toys (for building shapes), Play Doh, etc. The center bins from Math, Science, Literacy, and Art are a bit of a catch all right now. For example, I have thrown calculators, rulers, number flashcards, playing cards, and spare dice into the Math Center basket. I have magnifying glasses, shells, feathers, pinecones, and other natural treasures in the Science Center basket. I am still working out exactly how we are going to incorporate these things into out routine, but I will be happy to share when I do!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016245297657407267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3016762685356932921.post-3795215661471082412014-09-09T08:53:11.392-07:002014-09-09T08:53:11.392-07:00And all those bins and boxes?
