You’ll notice on station 2 I have a couple of extra activities for math and addition. Some of my kids are mastering addition and subtraction quite easily and I wanted to challenge them a bit more with a write the room that didn’t include pictures to count but rather just a number line to figure out the answer. This should give them the little extra challenge they need. Make sure you click on the plans so get the PDF to take you to the links. Station number 8 includes a freebie.
I had to whip together a couple of new things for math. I’m especially excited for Crazy Rabbits Love I-Spy Addition and Subtraction. These are the cutest graphics and I was able to do them in color AND black and white.
Love how everything is laid out in your plans but I couldn’t imagine how much time that takes! Your new units look super cute!!

Thanks so much. It does take a TON of time. I’m hoping it gets quicker eventually.

Thanks for admitting that the visual plans are “a ton of work!!” Everyone always makes it seem so easy, but as much as I love them, I knew when I first started seeing them that there was just no way I could allot enough time to do them. Plus my district uses “Curriculum Engine.” Our lesson plans are all web-based and done online and the program doesn’t allow you to insert photos, etc. I has it’s advantages and disadvantages.

Hey, I have no problem admitting when something is difficult and these plans are anything but easy. I would say if you have a district mandated system that works…all the better. It is hard in kindergarten to get everthing on one or even two pages. I do like having my station plans, daily 6 plans and learning center plans separate from the week at a glance type plan but everyone has something different that works for them. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you for sharing your plans. You need to be presenting at the “I Teach K” Conference on this!!! Are you going by chance? I am focusing SO hard on mastering the fine art of “differentiating” this year….and am loving how it has allowed my students to soar!!! However…I am discovering it is going to take me much longer than a year to perfect! I have 14 math stations I use in 3 week rotations, much like you, and am moving toward differentiating each…but it’s taking me some time! Thank you for being my bloggy-mentor! 🙂
I love the way you do your visual plan. I am a new kindergarten teacher so I am always looking at your blog for new ideas. I was wondering if you could do a post with all of your word work lesson plans for one month just so I could see how the activities change or stay the same. I would really like to my stations in a similar fashion to yours next year! Thanks!
