Common Core Goodies

Like I said in a previous post, I have been thinking about next year, as this year comes to a close.  I know, I know, we have one month left, but I am still thinking and getting excited.  I am super excited about the Common Core.  I have been using it for over a year now and I am totally in love with it. 
Why am I in love with the Common Core?  First off, it makes it so easy to share resources not only within your grade level, but others too.  If you have looked at the standards, you can easily see how the grade above and below are connected to your grade level.  Plus, since everyone is on TPT these days, you can easily find what you need by typing in the standard.  We no longer have to worry about individual state standards.  This means more resources from all over the country!  How exciting!  What teacher wouldn't be excited?
Here is what I have been working on for my classroom:
One Week of Review {1.NBT.1}-This pack is 5 pages of review of this standard.  You can use it how you see fit in your classroom.  I plan to hopefully make a packet for each standard in the near future, so be on the look out!
Sentence Structure {1.RF.1a}-This is just a simple page I am going to use as a review of our sentence structure.  I do an activity in the beginning of the year with my kids about the parts of a sentence.  In this activity we discuss how we can make sure our sentence is a masterpiece sentence.  This page reviews that information at the top.
Clown Car Coloring {K.RF.1d}-This is a simple sheet for my kinders who are still working on matching upper- and lowercase letters.  There are two on a page to save paper.
If you like what I have been working on, please feel free to leave feedback!  Oh, I forgot to mention that everything I add to TPT from now on will have a Common Core standard attached to it for easy reference.
