This video is coming out a little earlier than the ones recorded before it. I hope you enjoy it :)

Do you struggle with small groups? Not sure what to do in your small groups? Having trouble finding independent stations for your kids to do while you are running rotations? Come and see how I run small groups in my firstgrade classroom! In this video, we go over the benchmark assessments we use to make small groups, how I group my students into small groups, what I do during my small group lessons, and how I get through 5 rotations of small groups with independent stations.

See below for some of the resources I use for independent stations and games:
