Note to parents: The last couple of weeks we have had an increase of student contact (hands on each other) mostly starting out in play. This is seen with typical students as well but they're able to regulate it. Our students lose self-control and it turns into something bigger. I have a strict NO-Hands policy and we are re-visiting this. Please talk with your child and remind them of this rule and if you can support your own policies and consequences at home. Thank you.
9:15AM BLOCK 1 MATH (SBAC Practice=4th Graders +khan)
Obective: Students will continue to work through multi-step problems, be introduced to the range of math exposures that will be present on the SBAC test to come, and increase their reasoning math skills.
BLOCK 2 Literature Groups (SBAC Practice + 2nd Grade DOW)
Activity: Students are performing math problems, with coaching, by applying the strategies and skills they've already learned.
Assess: Student work samples
khanacademy.org
Obective (khan): As of now students are either reviewing or being introduced to the concept of fractions. Whole piece to part, numerator and denominator.
Activity: Through a series of short video clips, the students watch and then practice a recorded assessment practice.
Assess: The program assesses and calculates student answers.
BLOCK 2 Literature Groups (SBAC Practice + 2nd Grade DOW)
Each group is tiered to meet the students needs. As of now we are working in three different groups, 2 focused on the reading, response, and writing demands of the smarter balance test arriving shortly.

Writing Prompt:
If I could travel to any country I would go to Chile. I have had an interest in Chile since I read a literature book that talked about it. The history and landscape sounds exciting. I would take my family and write as I traveled. I also don't know a lot about it so it would be new and fresh for me.
9:15AM BLOCK 1 Quick Math Assessment; then sharing
Students will attempt a quick math word problem, we will be working on these to prep for the SBAC, the test which will be coming for 3rd grade and up. Then we will take time to let the students share their week off and writing prompts.

Yesterday with Ms Tina was awesome, we did Thai Chi!!! She taught us not only to practice the movement, but also some of the history, and more! The students used breathing (calming) exercises and moved slooooowly.
