Breaking the rules!! Pay attention Kindergarten teachers!

I warned y'all it was coming and here it is, my 2nd post in for the day - please don't tell the bloggy police on me, I just went over 100 followers and would hate to get in bloggy trouble :-) I just HAD to post and I promise it will be short and sweet! I just finished and uploaded my Kindergarten friendly Common Core standards written in the "I can..." Marzano learning goal format. I am going to use these in my classroom with my Marzano learning goal scale (I blogged about it briefly just the other day - you can check out that post HERE)

Soooo anywho, I have been searching and searching and searching for Marzano/Common Core combos and found some really great things created by some really great teachers, but they were mostly created my teachers of upper grades and they were just not written in a kindergarten type of language.

So I decided to undertake the task myself. I had already made my learning goal scale  thought that I would create the Common Core Learning goals to match my scale. That way I can hang my scale in my classroom and then I can put the current learning goals up around the scale. I am thinking I will put this on my white board so I can just use magnetic tape on the back of the cards and that way they can just stick up and I can take them down when we move on to a new goal(s).

I can't get in my room until Tuesday so I can't take actual pictures of the scale in use, but I will as soon as I can. For now here are a couple pictures of what the cards look like.






That is just a few of them! I can't wait to print them out, laminate them and get them up on my wall. If you are interested in getting a set for yourself head on over to my TPT store - You can buy just the scale, just the cards, OR you can get the scale and the cards in a bundle. Here are the links

BEFORE YOU READ THIS NEXT PART REMEMBER THAT THE COMMON CORE LEARNING GOAL CARDS ARE ONLY FOR THE KINDERGARTEN STANDARDS, THE SCALE CAN BE USED IN ANY PRIMARY/ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM

OK if you have read this far and if you saw my post earlier (when I warned y'all about my double posting today) then you saw that I made a little mention of a flash giveaway. So here it is!! I am going to give away my scale bundle, just the scale, or just the cards (your choice) to the first 10 people to comment on this blog post! Make sure you tell me in your comment if you want the bundle, just the scale, or just the cards AND your email address. Ready... Set... COMMENT!!! :-)

  5. Hi Cindy, I'm so glad that you went over 100 followers today!! Although I teach in Texas...where we aren't using the Common Core...I believe that most of your cards will still work for me. These look fantastic...but, if possible, I would like the bundle. Thanks for sharing!
