DAY to DAY Our class varies from day to day, but a typical day in my class looks like the following: Warm-up – Students are expected to be completing the warm-up and have their work out from the previous day. Review of last night’s work as a class. Lesson or a review lesson: This includes book reading, note-taking, and many examples. Activity and/or Work: On certain days, I will have activities for students to participate in. Other days, I get students started on the work. This is the students time to complete part of the assignment and ask questions. Textbooks are kept in the classroom, so every student should have a class and home set.
