The beginning of school is spent developing routines of independence which allow the teacher the chance to meet with small groups and individual students. We build stamina when we select books that are "just right" and can be used to read independently for blocks of time. We've been graphing the number of minutes that we can read independently, and so far we are up to 8 minutes!
We are also going to spend time learning how to work through the routines of our Guided Math Workshop. We will take about 20 school days getting to know the procedures for the
Math Facts station, the
All By Myself station,
Teacher Time, and
Hands On Games. We will talk more about these at the Curriculum Night on Sept. 4.
