I am interested in knowing if there are TK/K combos planned for next year or already working in your districts. It looks like there will be 4 or 5 TK's with 11 K's in most of our schools. The TK curriculum has to be different. It is a 201-minute, 1/2 day program.

Just looking for suggetions on how to keep the group busy, while I...See MoreOur curriculum is SRA Real Math. Thanks to scheduling, I have to teach my kindergartens and the first graders during the same 45 min block. I assume I will start out with calendar and then keep one group busy while I work with the other. They will have access to Netbooks...
Just looking for suggetions on how to keep the group busy, while I teach the other. Does anyone have experience with this?

I am currently seeking any suggestions/guidance/help in setting up a 1/2 classroom. I am completely new at this but am excited for the challenge. I am wondering what it looks like in your class? How do you implement guided practice/centers/independent work? (such as is all of your work differentiated?) Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!
I've been a K or 1st gr. teacher my entire career, having looped for 6 of those years. This year I have a K-1 class, and am interested whether anyone else has a template for weekly plans that they've perfected and works for them. Thanks for sharing! Maggie
My name is Matthew Callison. I am a former elementary teacher working on my PhD in the School of Education at Indiana University Bloomington.
I am writing to ask for your voluntary participation in an online survey I created as part of a research study I am conducting. The purpose of this study is to learn more about elementary teachers knowledge of, and experience with, student-centered teaching approaches. My hope is that the information gathered in this study can be used to understand how we can better support elementary teachers.
If you are an elementary teacher, please consider participating in this online survey. Your experiences as an elementary teacher are invaluable in helping researchers and teacher educators learn more about how to support teachers like you in your important work.
The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal information unless you decide to leave your contact information at the end of the survey. You can learn more about the study and begin the survey (if you choose to participate) by visiting the link below:

If you know of other elementary teachers who may wish to participate in this study, please feel free to forward this email to them.
Thank you for your time.
