I love this setup and I love the fact that the pencil accents have both upper and lowercase letters!

It’s nice when the students get older to get them to contribute some of the charts too

I’ve got one that will be in 2nd grade next year, and I would be willing to move all the way from Ohio to have Kristen teach my daughter! I think a lot of teachers could learn a lot from Kristen–and maybe even from her school district! (…I wonder if Douglas County is faced with the same type of budget cuts that Ohio’s experiencing…) Email me if you know, seriously! From the advice of a mother of seven (ages 5-19), I strongly recommend we get more teachers like Kristen in our US Education System.

I can’t actually take credit for the idea of building vs. breaking down stamina. A PEBC teacher, Troy Rushmore, revolved a lot of his classroom community around this theme, and I have too, ever since I got the idea. A great book to go along with the theme of stamina is High as a Hawk by T.A. Barron.

What an amazing teacher. LOTS of Childrens Book ideas. How Many Pockets Are We Wearing Today? Or, I Notice, I Wonder, I Think.

Inspiring to see what love this teacher clearly has for her students.
Thanks for posting!!!!
