SNOW!

What a fabulous Saturday it was today! It decided to snow here in NC, and this is something that never seems to happen here! We get a little (A LOT) excited around here! Today was the first time that my dog Swirly seen snow, and it was hilarious. She would run, stop, and eat snow, and then she would do that all over again.

Since it was cold outside, and I couldn't really go anywhere, I sat down and thought about my plans for school next week! We have started an enrichment period once a week with a select few students that we feel need a little extra support. We have to use one of our planning periods, but I'm sure it will be worth it for the students in the end.

NC is new to common core, so it has been difficult to get the resources that I need to prepare my students for the end of grade tests. We don't even have textbooks to go along with the common core. I decided, today, that I am going to start creating practice "cluster" sheets to help my students prepare for these test!


There are fifty questions in all that will help students to master concepts need to succeed in the common core cluster: the number system.

I believe that practice makes perfect!

I can't wait to begin these packets with my students! There will be more to come!

You can find this at my TpT store and my TN store.
