Educational Wikis - Kindergarten and First Grade

There is a wonderful resource created by teachers for teachers that I have been checking out recently. Chets Creek Elementary School in Jacksonville, FL, is using a wiki to share teaching ideas, assessments, educational links and more. This particular wiki is designed for first grade teachers, specifically those working at Chets Creek, to communicate with each other about what is working in their classrooms and to build continuity within the grade level. Teachers who are not a part of the Chets Creek community are not able to contribute, but can view and download content from the site. At the kindergarten wiki I have downloaded the kindergarten vocabulary "unit of study" (Part One, Part Two) to share with some teacher friends of mine. What a lot of work has gone into this resource! It could easily be adapted to fit other grade levels and is a great template for organizing the teaching of vocabulary.
