I am moving to grade 2/3 next year and this has been so great from a planning stand point. You are awesome. I can't wait to explore more of your blog.sh*https://www.blogger.com/profile/11396762603529026850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533213618539100325.post-28416964402992458072015-06-17T11:46:09.788-04:002015-06-17T11:46:09.788-04:00I originally planned them out during the year as e...I originally planned them out during the year as each unit approached, but once I had the units created I just began tweaking them each summer in preparation for the next school year. I do have this same unit plan format for every single unit in every single subject. ;)Amanda Maddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367000318878641477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533213618539100325.post-18559231328425325992015-06-17T11:44:36.282-04:002015-06-17T11:44:36.282-04:00We use math centers about 2-3 times a week usually...We use math centers about 2-3 times a week usually. Sometimes they are early-finisher type activities and sometimes students are rotating while I'm working with a small group on a skill. I'm very flexible with math and let my students' progress lead me. :) You can find all of my "any time" math centers that I created this year to correlate with my units here - https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Teachers-Clubhouse/Category/CentersAmanda Maddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367000318878641477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533213618539100325.post-45588123563603154692015-05-10T19:45:12.417-04:002015-05-10T19:45:12.417-04:00Hi Amanda!

Also, do you type out a script (like your math) for each unit? I would love to use your lesson plan format next year but need a little guidance. Thanks for being an amazing teacher and sharing all your wonderful ideas.

No more living week by week. I had a game plan for the whole year! This is my 5th year teaching so that helped a lot, too. You really have to know where you're going before you can just lay out yearly plans. Sometimes that is hard to do if you're the grade level newbie. I am so excited to start laying out some great differentiated and unit plans this summer! Thank you, Amanda!

I love week to week and feel exhausted 1/2 the time. I have read back over several of your math posts and know that you do incorporate some math centers. I was wondering how often you do centers in math, how you incorporate them and if you keep several of the same centers going through the entire unit. Thanks for any input you could give, this is really awesome.
