Erin has her take-home distance learning kits all prepped for the kiddos! She used pieces of my ELA and Math tool kits along with supplies for the kids!

My kiddos love sound boxes!
They are great to use with Stretchy Snake. =)
Thank you for the strategy prompts.

I do Guided Reading & D5 in K almost exactly like you do – it's what has come to be the most workable model for me after several years of trying different versions of stations and D5. Four groups, 15 minute rounds, no mini-lessons. I do whole group instruction either before or after D5 time, and a share/re-teach time as often as I can after the whole thing is done.
I have a clip-board check-in rather than SMART Board because my board is older & will waste power if left on the whole time (or take forever to warm up btwn rounds). I mark who is meeting with me when I do my weekly plans, and then check in goes quickly as the students tell me their choices & we get to work. My GR plans are Jan Richardson's, but it looks like yours are similar and may be easier to use. I'm going to see how they work for me. (thanks!)
I made an Elkonin boxes slide for my SMART board to give the students practice hearing just the phonemes (no letters) in words, and it helps them to practice this in the large group. We do it in our small group, and then it makes great scaffolding for picking out the manipulative letters that make the sounds, or later writing down lines to hold the spaces for our sounds when we are doing writing, and matching letters, blends & digraphs that we have learned to the lines we made to hold our sound places.
These resources are great – thank you so much!

Thanks for the sound boxes! I love using them with my students & you just gave me even more ideas on how to use them. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for the comments!
Erin- seems like our teaching styles are very similar!! 🙂
We use sound boxes…I didn't have individual ones so thanks for providing these!

Tara-you rock! I love to see how other teachers do things! I am not a choice center girl either. If I gotta plan for it- they all have to do it!

Thanks for giving us a snapshot into your guided reading-looks great!
I like sound boxes too. I also like using graph paper for spelling word practice in first grade (so helpful for identifying phonograms, etc)

Thanks so much for your comments about Elkonin boxes. I use them, first with only sounds, then written letters…your step putting the boxes in for missing phonemes is genius. It's the missing link for my writing instruction.
Very inspired by your Addition and Subtraction Story Problems. I can see this as a daily or weekly quick check for a fun review or warm up for a lesson. Thanks for the tips on guided reading. Really love your website.
Tara,
I have been following you on Pinterest all summer. Now I am following your blog. Congratulations on 400 followers.
Creatively yours,
