Let's Talk About It: BUILD & enVision

Around Christmas break time, I decided that I should try this whole blogging/Teachers Pay Teachers thing.  I mean, think about it... I have all this extra time on my hands! What with teaching, working on my Master's degree, a new grandbaby... you see where this is going, right? Yep, I'm an overachieving Kindergarten teacher who is a bunch tad bit crazy!

Well, about a week and a half ago I gave a presentation to teachers in my district about the success I have had incorporating enVision Math in my Kindergarten classroom! I was very nervous flattered! Now, people...we have reached the last half of the school year and school districts all over are studying and investigating all sorts of new curriculum. And, I'm just going to tell you... this enVision math is new to us this year. We got a new Math AND a new Reading curriculum this year! So, I am plugging along just like everyone else, but I have discovered a few things that are working for me, so...

I set out to present an awesome presentation in, oh, let's say 10-15 minutes. I figured I could handle it, right?? I'm an awesome teacher after all, right?? I have about 20 little people tell me that all the time! And... I did it! It was great! People seemed to enjoy it! Then I went back to my littles and smiled because they are the reason I teach, not those other teachers, not the school district and then I couldn't remember why I was ever nervous in the first place?

If you are one of those people struggling to work within enVision or investigating the curriculum in your district or maybe just looking for work station ideas, I thought I would use my very first blog post to show you my presentation and answer any questions you may have about enVision, BUILD, or differentiation.
