Her blog is really great. She has great organizational ideas to share.
Two things got me thinking:
- Make a place on my lesson plans to stick TEKS labels
- Have TEKS ready for me to put on the board every day
Confession: I am not good about this.
Promise: I will do better this year.
That is where I got the idea to type all my 4th grade TEKS into Word and make labels. I used the template for Avery 5160 Address labels. They are perfect! Plus, it was a good way for me to familiarize myself with the 4th grade standards. (I am a nut, I know. I also don't have any children and my husband is gone all day at work. What else am I going to do?)
Anyway, here is the pdf version. Email me if you want the Word version. The left hand column gets cut off a tiny bit, but you can still read it. I know that only a very few of you will be able to use this, but it might be a good idea. (maybe...)

Becca,
I'm also a Texas teacher (2nd grade) and I've 'been there and done that' with writing my own plans... which translates to a whole lotta work. Just curious, does your grade level plan as a team? We break up the subjects and work in pairs to write the plans and then come together and review them as a team. We also print the TEKS that we are writing the plans for and pass them out to the other teachers to hang/attach to the whiteboard to review with students. I wish you all the best in 4th!
Christy ~ My grade level didn't plan together. I am hoping that my new 4th grade team will be more open to it. Thanks for sharing how you do it, it sounds like a great system!
I've used the labels before. I stuck them on the back of my originals and filed them by standard. That way I knew exactly what to pull for each skill.

This is wonderful!!! My third grade team plans together, so we all write ONE subject instead of a gajillion! I love this idea!!
