Quick Questions #1: "They just don't remember"

Quick Questions #1: "I teach Kindergarten and I have a handful of students who just don't remember things. They can learn 2 sight words, walk away from the table and come right back not knowing them. This group also knows 10/26 letters. I don't know how to make information "stick" with these kids. I'm a first year teacher, so any input would help. Thanks!"
If you have questions, please share them!

Donorschoose.com Grant Materials - Printer



I wrote a Donorschoose.com grant for a camera, printer, ink and paper... and got it!

I was so excited I wrote 3 more for science materials, math stories and books with funny characters.

It is so easy!

First Grade by First Graders



I wanted to know what my kids thought was important in my classroom. So, I gave them each about 5 minutes with my video camera one day and had them tell me.

This is what I found! :)
