I taught K for 9 years and used BB for a good portion of
that, and you are right...It is very different! The MbM book
is awesome, so that's a great place to start! It has the
basic skeleton of what you need to know. I would also suggest
reading the Teacher's Guide to BB. It really does a good job
of explaining the philosophy behind BB, and would really help
you understand the "why" behind the MbM book.
I could sit here and type for hours about specifics, but I
think it might better serve your efforts and mine if you
could post more specific questions you have. I'd be more than
happy to help however I can!
And even though there isn't much activity on the BB board, I
would also suggest reading the posts that are already there.
There is a lot of good information on there, even if no one
is posting right now!!
Hope to hear from you soon and good luck!
Steph :)
