I am so excited to be posting over here at Mandy’s blog! We are participating in the Top Teachers’ Blog Swap and Hop. What a great opportunity to find new blogs to follow and to get some great ideas and activities for the new school year. I am also guest blogging on one other blog. I won’t tell you which one…see if you can find me!
First, I’d like to introduce myself in case you don’t know me. My name is Lori and I am the author of Teaching With Love and Laughter. I am getting ready to enter my 18th year of teaching. And, I still love it! I teach kindergarten, first grade, and second grade writing, science, and social studies. This is me:
I hope you enjoyed my post and find the task cards meaningful and useful. If you are not yet a follower of my blog, I am formally inviting you to come over to my place and make yourself at home. Thanks so much for being with me here today. Enjoy the rest of your blog hopping adventure!
Thanks for having me Mandy!

You are too cute!! When you say you are teaching K-2nd in specific subject areas, I was wondering if you are then teaching in small groups for for different grade levels throughout the day? Just curious…Some of the districts in Arizona have adopted the "team-teaching" or "co-Teaching" strategies where there are two teachers per classroom…I have not yet met anyone who actually is co-teaching, but I love hearing about the different set-ups and how they work, or rather, not work.. -;
Thanks for sharing…I am loving this blog hop!!

Michelle, my school uses the Project CHILD method of delivery. I work closely with 2 other teachers. I teach writing, one teaches reading, and the other teaches math. We keep the same students for three years. We get them as kindergartners and they stay with us until second grade. Then, they go to an intermediate cluster. We don't teach all grades at the same time. When I have kindergarten, the other teachers have first or second grade. I love keeping the same children for three years because I REALLY get to know them.
I agree, this blog hop and swap is FUN! Thanks for visiting!

The collaboration that you and your teaching partner must get to do with one of you teaching reading and the other one writing must be fun! Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Hi Mandy,
I just love reading your blog. I think I'm going to try fabric (maybe even a sheet) on a bulletin board this year thanks to your tip. Lori's task cards are great, too! I'm nominating you for the Versatile Blogger award. Stop by sometime for more info.
