Throwback Thursday- Common Core PowerPix

I first started working on switching the official WBT PowerPix with CA state standards to Common Core standards in 2011. I want to be clear NONE of these PowerPix were created by me, they are all a part of the grade level PowerPix that are on the WBT ebook area. The original PowerPix reference the California State Standards and all of California and many other states are now following the Common Core standards. I used a digital scrapbooking program, My Memories Suite, to modify the  PowerPix to reference the Common Core Standards. The originals had the PowerPix and teacher notes in one file. In the files I made there is one file of the Pix for ELA and one for Math for each grade level to be printed in color and/or shown on your LCD projector. There is a separate file of teacher notes, one ELA and one Math for each grade level, that can be printed in black and white. I have my PowerPix in sheet protectors with the matching teacher notes slid in the same sheet protector so that I can hold the PowerPix up and read the teacher notes :)

Here is a little explanation of what is on each PowerPix. I have simply changed the California State Standards to the Common Core Standards and formated the Teacher Notes to be one page for each PowerPix.

You can learn more about using PowerPix from Coach B's webcast below and from wholebrainteaching.com 

 Below are links to the Common Core PowerPix I currently have finished. If you are at a school that does not use Common Core or teach upper grades that I have not finished PowerPix for be sure to check out this post for the JPEGs of the PowerPix. PowerPix are one of my favorite WBT tools and I hope that these updated PowerPix and Teacher notes are useful.

WBT PowerPix with Common Core Standards

I have been able to finish the ELA PowerPix for Kindergarten - Fifth Grade and Math for Kindergarten and First Grade and wanted one post to hold them all. This post will hold pins to all the PowerPix posts. As I finish the Math PowerPix with Common Core I will add the links here.
Please let me know if these are helpful and if you see any errors :)

Kindergarten Common Core

Have you all seen this new 600 page ebook for the Common Core Standards?

After seeing this all over many of my favorite blogs this week I finally had a chance to check out the free sample download. WOW these are so cute and useful! If even half the pages are as great as the sample this book will totally be worth the investment.

My school district is still using the California State Standards for now but since most of the California Standards are similar to the Common Core Standards I know I'll still be able to use many of the pages from this book. Then when my district decides to switch to Common Core, which will probably be with little notice, I'll already be started :)

Between this Kindergarten Common Core workbook and the Power Pixs from Whole Brain Teaching I will have the standards super covered :) The workbook is $39.99, but one comment said there is a 15% discount with the code CORE15. If you are a blogger you can receive a copy for free until September 16th! Just click HERE to find out how.  Now if only printer ink was free too because I will need A LOT of ink :)
