  14. authentic readers class book clubs workshop model (opening, work period, closing) 30-40 minutes daily of independent reading time to build stamina Instruction is individualized per student need DRA (Diagnostic Reading Assessment) BOY, MOY, EOY looking for independent level of “Just Right” book large group, small group, one-on-one instruction We will goal set according to Reading Strategies: Comprehension Accuracy Fluency Extending Vocabulary Reading Instruction

  16. Individualized per student need 3 levels of weekly word lists for differentiation based on difficulty of words and amount of words per week Words given on Monday – test following Friday Students will take a pre-test on Monday to determine which list they will need to study for the week. It is the student’s responsibility to remember which list to study, it is too difficult for me to keep up with 46 students when the lists they need to study change on a weekly basis. Very little, if any time allotted in class for study- we will sometime use some of the words to practice word study and how the words are used. Spelling

  17. 3rd Grade Big Idea integrated into Reading Workshop via literature/textbook (if applicable): Map Skills Work (this is where a majority of the focus will be this year) People work together and independently to contribute to their community. People move from one community to another to improve their lives. People work together to shape their community. Individuals shape their community. Change impacts citizens individually and as a community. Integrated Social Studies

Math Investigations: Workshop model (opening, work period, closing) explore problems in depth find more than one way of solving many of the problems they encounter reason mathematically and develop problem-solving strategies explain their mathematical thinking and reasoning represent their thinking using models, diagrams, and graphs. prove their ideas to others develop fluency - efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility - with mathematics. develop proficiency with arithmetic work in a variety of groupings - whole class, individually, in pairs, and in small groups Math

  20. First 30 days/Problem Solving- In the first 30 days of the school year we will be following the NISD Math curriculum. The purpose of First 30 Days is to build and establish Math expectations for problem solving and collaboration. The purpose of this is to deepen student understanding and engagement in mathematical understanding. Students are expected to explain their thinking verbally and in writing. Math
