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?
