5th Grade Reading Street Concept Maps

My school started using the Reading Street program (Common Core Edition 2011) last year.  Needless to say, it was a little overwhelming at first. I think I got the the point where I knew what I really needed to cover and sometimes didn't worry about the rest.  This is called prioritizing...

One thing that I wasn't the best at doing was using the concept maps.  I hated trying to find them in my teacher edition and I also hated having them on my board the whole week. 

I decided that I was going to try to make more of an effort to use the concept maps so I revamped the way I used them before. The Concept Maps are now more usable and accessible. They can be displayed on the wall or a bulletin board instead of just written on the board. They could also be used in small group or student led group discussions by having the students sort the cards themselves.

I hope that I do better now that I have these! They can be found here for Unit 1 if you think you could use them too.
