Block 1 Whole class math
Objective: Students will continue to practice their word problem solving skills, including multiple steps, using our CUBES strategy, while also being introduced to fractions.
Activity: Using a plant and gardening word problem (see above), we will dissect (together) the process, using cubes, and creating a visual. We will not only do the steps, but will be discussing the PROCESS. This is imperative as we move closer to the "smarter balance" test most students will be involved in. This word problem is geared towards multiple grade levels and for those students in 2nd grade, they will be offered extra support and tools appropriate to their grade level.
Assess: Work samples, student verbal repsonses

Block 2 Computer Lab=typing practice and vocabulary
20 minutes of leveled typing skill practice
Objective: Students gain typing skills that they can later apply to writing production tasks.
Activity: Students participate in levels according to their progress, focusing on home row keys, finger to letter coordination. Students get VERY excited and motivated for their progress!
Assess: Teacher observation, level passes.
25 minutes of vocabulary work (games)
Activity: There's a variety of ways for students to learn through interactive games. The game they use depends on their ability level and grade level.
Assess: Activity Results

(2 Week Theme) Springtime is near! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We will be focusing the next two weeks on the awesomeness of spring, renewal, growth, etc.
We can utilize this theme and play it into much of the curriculum. We will be growing plants (lima beans), observing and engage in the scientific process. We will be doing springtime, art related projects, we will use the theme of renewal to discuss new self-goals, and so much more! The intention is to wrap all of our subjects and academic expectations into real life process (this is the heart of common core), including math, literature, writing, science, art, and more!
