CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES

1. Each student will have an iPad where they will use evernote to take notes daily. In subjects like Math they will be able to use the drawing function to write math problems. In other subjects they will be able to simply type notes as well as capture pictures of any worksheets used in class. The students will have a notebook for each subject to stay organized.

2. Standard: Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.

The teacher will create a reading log notebook! Each student will have a note in the notebook. The students will be required to periodically record a quick recording of them reading. This will help the teacher record student progress of fluency and allow the teacher to see who may need extra help in reading. This will be done during station time once a week.
