Week of January 13, 2020

I have some really exciting news!
In order to provide this class with some additional support, we are welcoming Ms. Poinsett into our class 3 days each week as my co-teacher. 
As we've been planning together, we have determined the following weekly schedule:
 
Monday: both teachers
  • Whole group lesson introducing the skill(s) for the week 
  • Small(er) group practice (2 groups - one with each teacher)
  • Weekly Quiz/Exit Ticket # 1
Tuesday: Cundari only
Math Workshop (Rigorous, open ended problems focusing on creative thinking, application of multiple strategies, student collaboration, and explaining their thinking)
 
Wednesday & Thursday: both teachers
Small group rotations (4 groups) to include the following:
  • Teacher time (at least 1 meeting each week with each teacher, up to 2 meetings per week with each teacher)
  • Skill review practice activity(ies)
  • Independent and/or small group application of new learning
Friday: Cundari only
  • Fact fluency quiz(es) and practice
  • Weekly Quiz/Exit Ticket # 2
This week, we are going to be working on learning our new routine, getting to know Ms. Poinsett, practicing small group procedures, and getting organized for the semester.
