I think one of the biggest questions I have gotten and have had to deal with myself is organization of the manipulatives as well as students work and other items that come with the curriculum. I have found f trying to gather the materials together the morning of the leson but this proved to be very I find myself planning a lesson two weeks in advance so I can be really ready to teach a lesson. I get help from the children in my classroom to gather the materials together for the lesson and will loan them out to other teachers so they are not weighted down with dois tedious task. I also must read and re-read the lessons as well as the teacher notes so I can successfully facilitate the learning. It is time consuming and different from how past math lessons were instructed but, the children get so much out of it and this motivates me to continue to hang in there. I really feel like my children are learning.
