~First Grade Common Core Math Assessments~

~Measurement~

My first grade Common Core Math assessments for Measurement are up at TpT.  This covers standards 1.MD.1, 1.MD.2, 1.MD.3, 1.MD.4.  There are 3 Assessments and a Pretest for each standard.

Included in the packet are graphs for students to keep track of their progress on each standard and classroom graphs to track the whole group.  I have seen a lot of positive results from graphing student progress in the classroom this last semester!  It's great to see the kids get excited as their "stairs" go up on their graphs as they work towards their goals!

You can get it HERE at TpT.

Volcanoes

In kindergarten, we teach Saxon Phonics.  Last week was letter V week.  In the past, we have planted vegetables and studied plants.  This year, I decided to teach a unit on volcanoes.  The kids were so excited.  We created an explosion with Diet Coke and Mentos.  We also made a volcano erupt with baking soda and vinegar.  After creating the two eruptions, students created a Venn diagram comparing the two eruptions.  I have included a few photos from our volcano week.  If you are interested you can find the unit here.
