Daily Schedule

This is our time to get settled in and ready for the day. I will take attendance and then I might share something I did, ask students to share, play a game or make an announcement. It is a great way to get us all together and focused as a team to begin our day.

I will talk about what we will learn and work on today as mathematicians. I will name a learning target and demonstrate the concept. Students will be working along with me and sharing their questions and aha moments.

Over the course of the week, I will be meeting with every student in small groups to make sure they feel solid in their concepts. Conference schedules will be posted in Google Classroom each week.

Everyone will rejoin the classroom and I will share what great things I have seen and students may volunteer to share as well. This will also be a time when I determine if I go on to the next lesson or stay with the concept taught today.

We will stay online so that everyone is ready to go after this break. Students may want to grab a snack, take a potty break or just move around the house. This will help them to be focused and ready to go with our next lessons.

I will talk about what we will learn and work on today as writers. I will name a learning target and demonstrate the concept. Students will be working along with me as we start to learn and grow..

Over the course of the week, I will be meeting with every group to talk about their writing pieces. This is a great time to give those extra hints on how to improve as writers. Conference schedules will be posted in Google Classroom each week.

Everyone will rejoin the classroom and I will share what great things I have seen and students may volunteer to share as well.

This is a time that we may catch up an a concept, watch a video, share a piece of writing or talk about things that we have observed in or out of the classroom.

Students can mute and turn off their cameras and go enjoy a nice lunch break. This way, they are still logged in so they can come back and be ready to start again at 12:30.

I will talk about what we want to learn and work on today as readers. I will name the day's learning target and give examples of how students can apply this to the work to what they are reading.

I will send them off to do their reading while I confer with students one on one or in small groups to see how they are doing and how I can support them as they are tackling new concepts.

A quick gathering back together to get ready to move on to Number Corner.

This is a bit like a Math calendar. Each day, we look at one small concept and talk about our thinking, or work through a problem string. The concepts taught during this time, will be taught in depth in other units. Number Corner prepares us for those units.

Last time to move around, get a drink or have a potty break and be ready to go at 1:15. Students will mute and turn off video but stay online so they are ready to go.

We will be rotating between these two subjects so that we can go in depth with one at a time. This year there will be fun videos, great stories and some virtual hands on activities for the students to enjoy. This is the portion that may be live or may be a time when they will be directed to read or watch a video about the content.

Independent time to work on projects or assignments in Science or Social Studies

Although I love my whole day, sharing great stories with my students is by far my favorite time of day. This year, I have saved it for last. It will be a great way to relax and end our day with the words of great authors swimming in our heads.

Kids can log off and finish up their day, if they have questions or celebrations, they can sign up to meet with me during this time.
