Math Work Stations Day 1 - Queen of the First Grade Jungle

Math Work Stations Day 1

If you have read my blog more than a couple of times, you know I love Math Work Stations.  Well today, I put my money where my mouth is and DOVE into day one of work stations.

I have written two posts about Math Work Stations in the last few months....



Today will be a super quick post (did I mention I work up for the gym at 4:40) to show you what is going on in my room.

Here is my board this year:

I actually have 25 students this year so I have chosen to go with a couple of groups of 3.  If this doesn't work well I will reevaluate and might add two more stations.

Here are two of my cuties using my Zoo Number Sense Freebie.   I was SO impressed by their gumption.  They were writing number sentences with the numbers on the cards as sums.  Way to go girls!


This station is from my Ready or Not pack and was prefect to help me see some beginning of the year skills from some other kids. 


Here is another game that required my students to do 10 more, 10 less, 1 more, 1 less.  They knocked it out of the park....I'm thinking about running down the hall and kissing those 1st grade teachers!


For computers, I had these boys on an oldie but a goodie  Fruit Shoot!  Umm do all kids love seeing things blow up like mine do?

I also use these stations to learn about my kids as workers.  I was impressed by their ability to set up, work together, and play the games with each other.  For a first attempt...really I couldn't ask for more!
A lot of people ask what I am doing during this time???  Well right now I am running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  No really?  Usually I am conducting a small group. Today I gave my group some easy tasks and then monitored the room.  I will eventually get my kids to 100% independence.  BUT for now, I am realistic.  They still need me.  It's all about gradual release! So today I had my girls list ways to "make" 13, 14, and 15.  

PHEW!  Now this tired teacher is headed to bed!  Night y'all!

  3. Great ideas! I am planning on incorporating math stations this year, but not sure how to start. How long have you been in school this year? I am amazed at how many stations students are working at. How much time do you allocate to teaching/showing students the stations and working together? Do you show them whole group? Or do students just choose a station and read the directions?

  5. Your stations look great! I've always wanted to incorporate math stations into my instruction during the year (I even went to a great guided math PD!) and I love the organization you have for your first few weeks of school. I'm curious if you just dive right in to introducing your students to the centers or if you teach a mini lesson on a topic first, then go into centers and guided math? It looks great!

  6. Fitness not behind the club failure

    http://www.football-images.net/2014-08-26/a6d201d7c654c7c70eefb9211abff402.jpg
    Everton right-back Seamus Coleman didn’t believe that fitness is behind the club's two collapses in the Premier League, refusing to blame a lack of conditioning for late goals.
    Coleman said: "I don't know. I think we're as fit as any team – we've got a lot of fit lads. We were controlling the game and getting on the ball and passing it but then they got their goal and got their tails up.”
    He added: "I missed parts of pre-season but I felt fine out there so I don't think it's anything to do with stamina or fitness." As revealed by trustworthy Agen Bola indo11.com

  7. Jardim shows his impression on Monaco dominance

    http://www.football-images.net/2014-08-26/dda262f7d457ef0de906014fae8e0243.jpg
    Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim revealed his impression on his side putting together more consistent performances by the week, after their first Ligue 1 win.
    The coach said: "The game had two different times: the first 80 minutes where we had full control of the game by possession and the ball movement. We scored the goal in the first 80 minutes. We had other opportunities through Valere Germain.”
    He added: "The opponent had the penalty and once or twice [had chances] on counter-attacks. And the last 10 minutes where Nantes responded well and regained control of the match." As pointed by Agen Bola indo11.com

  12. Arsenal Dapatkan Jadwal Tricky, Wenger Ambil Positifnya
    http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/745/Y3uCUl.jpg

    Agen Bola Melaporkan Berita Olahraga Terkini dan terbaru Indo11.com London - Arsenal memperoleh jadwal yang tidak gampang di awal Premier League 2014-15. Meski demikian, Arsene Wenger menilai bahwa itu menjadi kesempatan bagi Arsenal untuk unjuk kekuatan.

    Di pekan kedua, Arsenal sudah menghadapi peringkat lima musim lalu, Everton. Setelah jeda internasional, tim London Utara ini lantas berhadapan dengan sang juara bertahan Manchester City di akhir ini.

    Duel sekota juga mengintai Arsenal. Setelah melawat ke markas Aston Villa pada pekan depan, 'Meriam London' itu mesti berjumpa Tottenham Hotspur di akhir bulan ini sebelum melawat ke Stamford Bridge untuk menantang Chelsea (5/10).

    "Mereka (City) memiliki masalah yang sama kok," sahut Wenger di situs resmi klub. "Saya pikir Anda harus menerima jadwal Anda dan harus menghadapinya serta beradaptasi."

    "Permainan kami adalah menerima dan menyesuaikan dan memberikan penampilan terbaik kami," lanjut Wenger.

  13. Balotelli Ditunggu Momen Istimewa
    http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/674/4wJ3xJ.jpg

    Agen Bola Melaporkan Berita Olahraga Terkini dan terbaru Indo11.com Liverpool - Mario Balotelli memang sudah melakukan debutnya untuk Liverpool. Tetapi akhir pekan ini tetap tersaji momen istimewa untuknya di Anfield.

    Bulan lalu Balotelli menuntaskan kepindahan senilai 16 juta poundsterling dari AC Milan ke Liverpool. Ia lantas sempat ikut menyaksikan kekalahan 1-3 yang dialami 'The Reds' dari bekas klubnya, Manchester City, di Etihad.

    Penyerang internasional Italia berusia 24 tahun itu kemudian mencatatkan debutnya bersama 'Si Merah' dalam kemenangan 3-0 di markas Tottenham Hotspur. Balotelli bermain 61 menit kendatipun saat itu tak bikin gol.

    Pada akhir pekan Liverpool akan menjamu Aston Villa dalam partai pekan keempat Premier League, Sabtu (13/9/2014) malam WIB. Jika tak ada kendala berarti--terlebih penyerang Liverpool lainnya, Daniel Sturridge, masih harus absen--itu akan jadi debut Balotelli di Anfield.

    "Ia sudah tampil amat baik dalam pertandingan pertamanya (lawan Tottenham Hotspur) dan penampilannya di Anfield akan menjadi peristiwa istimewa. Pemuda itu mampu melakukan apapun," kata Jan Molby, penggawa Liverpool periode 1984–1996.

  14. Klopp fuming after Dortmund defeat




    Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Jurgen Klopp has voiced his frustration with Borussia Dortmund's performance in their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Koln on Saturday and has insisted that they can no longer afford to make simple mistakes.
    BVB created numerous chances and had 16 shots against Koln's five, but it was not enough to prevent defeat at the RheinEnergieStadion, much to the dismay of Klopp.
    "We played a style of football that made no sense whatsoever. We were very sloppy in our passing in the first half and made some simple mistakes. This cannot be happening," the Dortmund coach said at a press conference.
    "We made things hard for ourselves again. We weren't good enough at the decisive moments, both in defence and in attack. We lacked focus at the back and weren't clinical enough going forward. That's why we still only have seven points."

  15. Allegri: Juventus weren't good enough



    Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Massimiliano Allegri admitted that Juventus had been nowhere near their best in Saturday night's surprise 1-1 draw at Sassuolo.
    The reigning Italian champions had gone into the game having won their opening six Serie A fixtures and were expected to have little trouble in extending their perfect record against a side without a single victory to their name so far this season.
    However, while Paul Pogba quickly cancelled out Simone Zaza's 13th-minute opener, Juve were unable to avoid dropping points for the first time and Allegri had no complaints about the final result.
    "I knew it would be a difficult game, particularly because our internationals only returned on Thursday, after having played two games," the Bianconeri boss told Sky Sport Italia.
    "Tonight, they put us in difficulty. We didn't play well technically and we had finished little in relation to what we created."

  16. Isco: I want to be an important player at Madrid




    Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - Isco admitted that he is desperate to establish himself as an "important" member of the Real Madrid first team after impressing in Saturday's Liga win at Levante.
    The attacking midfielder joined Los Blancos from Malaga for €30 million last summer and, despite a strong start to his career at the Santiago Bernabeu, he has struggled for game time under coach Carlo Ancelotti.
    Isco was afforded a rare start - just his third in La Liga this season - in Valencia and he took his chance to shine, netting in a resounding 5-0 triumph.
    Consequently, the 22-year-old is now hoping to show Ancelotti that he is worthy of more regular action.
    "I'm happy with the chance the boss has given me and I hope to be an important player for the rest of the season.“

  26. Mourinho Minta Chelsea Ajukan Tawaran Lebih Besar Untuk Isco
    http://www.football-images.net/2015-07-13/0169fd327f236ffc812893fc86859fa5.jpg
    Agen Bola Terpercaya indo11.com melaporkan, Demi memperkuat lini tengah musim depan, manajer Chelsea, Jose Mourinho, menyarankan kepada klubnya untuk mendatangkan pemain Real Madrid, Isco. The Special One tengah menekan pihak klub untuk mengajukan tawaran yang lebih tinggi lagi kepada raksasa Spanyol tersebut.
    Isco disinyalir telah dipatok dengan harga melebihi 30 juta Pounds. Itu sebabnya penawaran pertama yang diajukan oleh pihak The Blues senilai 20 juta Pounds ditolak, sehingga Mou menyuruh pihak manajemen untuk mengajukan tawaran sekitar 35 juta Pounds.
    Pemain 23 tahun tersebut memang tampil cukup baik musim lalu. Meski jarang mendapatkan kesempatan tampil, namun ia sangat jarang menyianyiakan ketika dirinya diberi kesempatan untuk tampil. Ia sukses mencetak 12 gol dari 66 kali membela Los Blancos sejak didatangkan dari Malaga pada 2013 lalu.
    Pemain tim nasional Spanyol tersebut juga sukses memberikan sejumlah gelar bagi Madrid. Termasuk diantaranya adalah gelar La Decima di tahun 2014 lalu.
