I'm so happy you visited my blog! You...Corinna,<br />I'm so happy you visited my blog! Your questions are very interesting and I'll try to be brief.....<br /><br />About Texas....did you know that Texas was formerly it's own country??? Well, in many ways, that culture still exists here. Texas did not go with the Common Core mainly because Pres. Obama threatened to take away Federal Funding if they didn't join. Texas doesn't like being told what to do by the Federal Gov't. SO, the Governor rejected Common Core and Texas State Education Board was told to create a Texas version. Although the TX Math Standards were approved last April, many feel that there are too many of them and that they focus more on process than content. Others say they fall short. Many of the same academics that were consulted in developing the Common Core were also consulted for the TX standards. They won't go in to affect until 2014, so only time will tell. <br /><br />I am a HUGE Kim Sutton fan. She is excellent to see in person. I am so happy to hear that you are going to use her materials in first grade. First grade is so critical to building number sense and it is often pushed aside because of reading curriculum demands. Over the years, I have used almost all of the resources she has created. They work and the kids love them. <br /><br />Thank you for the compliment about my son. He is amazingly insightful. He's been through a lot as he was born with a cleft lip and palate. Besides the 12 surgeries, he has had to endure the judgement and comments of cruel kids. I tell him that it is helping him to build character (then I run into my walk-in closet and cry my eyes out!). I am very proud of him. <br /><br />Whew! I hope I didn't go on too much! I look forward to keeping in touch with you!<br /><br />DianeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202133514696135765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544517983329604848.post-81893960210545346072012-08-04T12:19:37.993-05:002012-08-04T12:19:37.993-05:00Diane,
Your "warning" cracked me up! I ...Diane,<br />Your "warning" cracked me up! I just found your blog...while on my way to find something else...which I can't even remember since I ended up reading your blog...a lot...and I had to become a new follower. :)<br />I have lots of questions/thoughts about: the rebel state of Texas not doing Common Core, your thoughts on Kim Sutton's program (I'm planning on doing the online course for 1st grade), and I loved your son's assignment (you must have raised him wello). But, I won't ask all my questions at once. :)<br />I'm a new blogger and I'd love to have you hop over for a visit.<br />Corinna :)<br /><a href="www.teachingfabulousfirsties.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Teaching Fabulous Firsties!</a>Teaching Fabulous Firsties!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05142016003881821414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544517983329604848.post-19567881712949386312012-08-04T06:07:02.302-05:002012-08-04T06:07:02.302-05:00Love everything :)Love everything :)teaching fashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17767062972577962025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5544517983329604848.post-313936394133996272012-08-02T17:36:59.983-05:002012-08-02T17:36:59.983-05:00You did a great job on everything :)
