Jenny+Rabenhorst

My name is Jenny Rabenhorst. I am a kindergarten teacher at Blue Mountain Elementary. We are moving into our 2nd year here at Blue Mountain.


 * Project:** Monthly Morning Meeting Flipcharts


 * Project History**: I teach a 1/2 day kindergarten program. I am wanting to make the most of my precious time; therefore I want to be very thoughtful about the content of my flip charts. Last year my flip charts were ok, however now that I know the scope and sequence of our new Rigby program, and our Investigations Math program, I feel that I can integrate those skills into my flip charts. I am excited to find resources such as music, photos, podcasts and websites to enhance my flip charts. I am also wanting to experiment with our new ActivInspire program.


 * Timeline:** I am currently in the process of creating (please note this is still a work in progress) a Scope and Sequence for my "morning meeting". [[file:WIP.doc]] I am hoping to finish the entire year by the end of June and then continue with my actual flip chart construction until the beginning of the school year. When school starts, I would like to have my flip charts thru December completed. This should keep me above water until the winter break! By the end of next year, I will have all of my flip charts complete.

 * 2) I am wondering about differentiation during my Whole Group Rigby time?
