Morning Work Morning work is given each day to

review both ELA & Math skills. Your child may work on this

independently or in a small group with Miss Dzialo…depending on the assignment and its difficulty.

Morning Meeting This is a time to start our day with a

warm greeting. We sing our greeting song, say good morning to each other and start the day with a smile.

We review our schedule for the day along with any questions the students may have regarding the activities for the day.

We’ll also discuss any upcoming events happening in our classroom and school.

Math Pearson Mrs. Hartman, Mrs. Brogan & I group our math

students homogeneously by ability. Students who are on or above grade level in

math stay in my class. They work at a pace appropriate to their abilities.

Students who have gaps or struggle in math will go to Mrs. Brogan’s class. Mrs. Hartman, Mrs. Brogan & Mrs. Smith then break our students into smaller groups based on individual needs.

Writing Workshop Writing Workshop is an important part of

our curriculum framework. It is aligned to the Common Core. It consists of building connections,

teaching points, small and independent work time as well as sharing our finished writing pieces.

We are working on small moments in personal narrative writing.

Snack & Bathroom Break This is a time when your child may relax and have a mid-morning

snack and take a bathroom break, if needed.

Students are expected to bring in their own snack. (Thank you to the parents who have been sending in classroom snacks! )

Morning work can be finished as well as any catch-up work.

Shared Reading This is a time when student’s may listen

to a chapter book, story book, or passage.

It is a time to model fluency, reading strategies (ie, mental images) as well as reading a book for enjoyment.
