So all that to say I'm ready for a new beginning this year. I'm firmly committed to a hybrid Debbie Diller Work Station and The Sister Daily 5 style literacy work block. Basically having set workstations that I don't have to change every week. I also want to move to a guided math format for math instruction. I'm still a little fuzzy on how I'm going to make it all work but I'm excited. Here's a peek at what I've been playing around with on my schedule:
