Required Reading 1/31/14

My favorite kindergarten blogger Miss Night  sends out a list of links every week and I am straight up stealing this idea.  Every week I will post my favorite articles I have read during the week.  Enjoy and let me know what you think!

This article talks why there should be NO standardized testing.

This piece spoke right to my heart, about the inequities of teaching students in poverty.

This one about pushing literacy to hard in pre-k and kindergarten is something I think about every day.

Finally this post by Teacher Tom outlines why we should all be up in arms about Common Core.

For more links like these check out my Pinterest board full of education articles.  

On a lighter note, in March my class will be learning about Holi, a hindu festival, and I am absolutely obsessed with finding great resources.  So if you know of any let me know!
