I taught full-day kindergarten for 14 years and have spent the last 2 years as a kindergarten and first grade strategist working all over my district. I am excited to say that this school year I will be back in my own kindergarten classroom!! While I loved working with kinder and first grade teachers and their students, I missed having a class of my own.
I graduated from Dallas Baptist University in 2008 with a masters in curriculum and instruction. I am currently working on my doctorate in early childhood studies with a minor in curriculum and instruction at the University of North Texas. I hope to one day teach at the university level. I love what I do and want to pass on all that I have learned over the years to fellow teachers and students!
This week, we learned about fair shares and fractions. We read the book The Doorbell Rang and we made fair shares with cookies. Then we read The M & M Counting Book and made fair shares with m & m's. The Bears' Berries (a Rigby reader) is another great book for teaching about fair shares. A Fair Bear Share by Stuart J. Murphy also deals with fair shares.
I love your fraction activities! I will definitely keep these in mind when I teach fractions next year! I can easily adjust them for 2nd grade! Thanks for sharing :)
