Daily Schedule

Differentiated instruction Giving each student what they need. The curriculum is structured so that each child is being supported and challenged during a lesson. Foster independence. When they are done they should be in charge of finding ways to challenge themselves.

Writing We are using Benchmark literacy curriculum This year we will write – Personal narratives – Realistic fiction – Informational reports – Persuasive letters – Procedural texts

Spelling Word work- done in class three days a week and the same activity should be practiced at home on those same days. Students will start out working with the same set of words and later on differentiate based on their areas of needed practice.

Reading We are using Benchmark literacy curriculum Students will learn to improve their reading as well as develop their metacognitive skills We will… – Identify main ideas & supporting details – Analyze characters – Identify sequence of events – Summarize – Make inferences – Compare and contrast – Identify cause and effect

Math The math curriculum teaches problem solving using multiple methods; manipulatives, numbers, words, pictures, etc. This year there will be fewer lessons, which will allow for us to explore math thinking more deeply. This year we will learn – Addition and subtraction into the 200s – Measurement and shapes – Time – Money – Story problems - Into to fractions and multiplication A letter will be sent home at the beginning of each unit

Science/Social Studies Cycles Air and water or Balance and motion Butterflies Also… – Rainforests – Bats and owls

Homework math homework on Mondays, Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays word work around three days a week reading, it would be best if students read 20 minutes or more each night

Take Home Folder students will bring home their take home folders each night, it will be for their homework or other forms that need to go home Unload pocket- papers can stay at home Homework pocket- homework to do completed for the next day or papers that need to be seen by parents

Behavior Focus on celebrating each student while building classroom community Conflicts dealt with by student driven solutions Clear expectations

Student of the week every student will have a week where we get to know them better – Bring in pictures, things to share – Have visitors at lunch – Learn more about them I have randomly assigned each student a week and have the dates posted. I picked weeks where each student will have a full 5 day week to be the student of the week.

Birthdays -Sing happy birthday -Treats -Treats need to be store bought with the ingredients listed -Please and let me know about treats a head of time -Treats at the end of the day (3:00pm)
