12. The Workshop Model Opening Work Time Closing
The teacher begins with a mini lesson on a specific teaching point.
Work Time
Students are actively engaged by working independently or with a partner.
Closing
Students share their learning and thinking.
creates an environment where students are actively engaged in reading and writing activities. They self select texts, read independently or with a buddy, meet in small groups, talk about their reading and most importantly practice “real” reading behaviors. During writer’s workshop students are creating authentic pieces of writing and conferencing with their teacher on specific areas needing instruction.

34. Field Trips
Lori

35. Field Trip Guidelines 1 or 2 Field trips
Students must arrive at school on time the day of the trip with a sack lunch (no lunch boxes) and comfortable shoes (no sandals).
Students are expected to be on their very best behavior. They will follow directions given by any teacher, parent, guide or presenter.
Parents are encouraged to join us on field trips. NO SIBLINGS please.
Parents/chaperones attending field trips MUST complete a background check.
Parents are required to provide their own transportation and students MUST ride the bus with the class.
Teachers may remove field trip privileges from any student in a case of severe behavior in the classroom and/or on a field trip.
We represent Haslet when we are away from the school and we ask that you and your child agree to abide by these guidelines:

36. Additional Things to Remember
Visitors
Please sign in through the front office.
Please remember that all volunteers must complete the NISD background check.
You are welcome to have lunch with your child!
P.E./Art/Music
Students go to PE daily and need to wear proper shoes and comfortable clothes. (NO flip flops)
They also attend Music and Art.
PLEASE SEND AN EXTRA SET OF CLOTHING TO KEEP IN YOUR CHILD’S BACKPACK/LOCKER

37. Specials (Art, Music, & PE)
In grades K-2: Slips are given to students to be signed by parents and returned the next day.
In grades 3-5: Students sign their name and write down what they did in a discipline log in class. Parents receive an with a brief explanation of what happened.
A few warnings are given before sending your child home with a slip asking them to sign the log.
Conduct grade on the report card:
In P.E. (in a six weeks)
3 slips/ s= N
4 slips/ s= U
In ART and MUSIC (in a six weeks)
2 slips/ s= N
3 slips/ s= U
You might notice that for P.E. the conduct grade does not go down to an N until 3 slips/ s are given. This is because your child attends P.E. twice as much as art and music.
