education.
“I made
my first Reference
Cards over 30 years ago
while I was teaching first and second
grade. I created a set of cards on a ring
to remind myself about higher level questions,
Instructional strategies, and various phonic rules.
Over time, I refined these cards and developed more
as I taught third and fourth grade. Teaching on the
University of Central Florida over the past 8 years, I
created new cards dedicated to my University students.
These became a “gift of time” for them as well as a companion reference to be used
when actually planning and teaching in the elementary classroom. With “ESSENTIALS,”
I am happy to provide support and encouragement to teachers and teachers-
Darlene
