1st Graders + Common Core = Good Times!

       Oh boy! Who is getting excited for the school to start again?! I'm sure my little 1st graders will be so excited! As a kid I can remember getting so excited to go shopping for all of my school supplies. I would get the girly pink folders and barbie backpack to match! Don't worry I'm not going to go get another barbie backpack at my age, but I did make a run to Staples and bought a new green and pink calendar to help keep track of all of my meetings! I may be just as excited though! :) 

        So my little 1st graders and I are planning to get Common Core aligned! (they probably don't know that yet). ;) I decided to dig into the Common Core standards and pick out the standards that I felt best aligned with what I already do as a speech therapist. Once I identified those standards for my 1st graders I created a lesson plan per each standard that I had selected.
