I participated in some training for West Virginia's Next Generation Common Core State Standards. The team I was on wanted to share some helpful links and information with other first grade teachers. Below are some of the things we felt would be helpful to our coworkers.

WV Next Generation CSO's Search Page for ELA, Math, Social Studies
This quick video shows you how to find the Nxt Gen Standards from the main state website.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number Talk Dot Cards Download (Oceans of Fun Blog)
There is more on "Number Talks" on this site as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thinkfinity
"Browse by Standard" search box for useful lessons and activities etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adventure to Fitness Web Site
This is fantastic website to get your students moving in your classroom. It might be used as a "brain break" , extra weekly PE class or part of a teaching unit. You owe it to yourself and your students to check out this resource more closely. It really is excellent.

This video shows you how to find this resource on the state main website, about signing up and a trick for showing the video in your classroom so there is no "buffering" while showing the video to you class.

Learn 21 Links and Videos (Math, Social Studies, Wellness, Art, Reading etc.)
On the top of the page click on our grade level. This opens a tool bar below with subjects to choose resources to use in the classroom.

CCSS Math Resources
CCSS Math Resources
This site has first grade CCSS resources organized by the differnt standards. They also have a math journal for purchase if your curriculum doesn't have something like this available. I have not purchased it as of yet. I will be going to training on "Number Talks" and am waiting until after that to see if I want to purchase the math journal. A kindergarten teacher from my school really finds this site useful since the implemented the CCSS last year.

And for the ladies in our training... :)
