This is a brief synopsis of the main areas of FOCUS our class will be engaged in for the week. I will preface this with the following, our class has a mandate to go above and beyond the 1st grade standards. That being said many times opportunities arise that will NOT be included in these weekly focus points. We take advantage of opportunities when they arise. Material taught is always guided by the Florida B.E.S.T Standards and is made relevant to the students' world . Sometimes we approach concepts that are more involved and will require more time to achieve success than one week. I look at the student's work and decide daily what to revise and change based on what I see. Its an art in our class not a science; but nonetheless we are on our way. Basically, there is always going to be more taught/discussed in the class than what you see below.
