First, we start off with calendar activities. There is so much we do with the calendar that I think I'll save that for another post. After the calendar activities, we do a whole group lesson. We might learn a new concept, extend our learning from a previous lesson, or learn how to play a new game.
Then we move into math in a small group, math with a partner, or math by myself. I'm guessing that this is everyone's favorite part. Every day students work on a learning target with a teacher in a small group. The small group lesson might be an extension of the whole group lesson. The lesson might be a review of a previously taught lesson, or it might be a new lesson that is better suited to small group learning.
In addition to working with a teacher in small group, students can either choose to work with a partner (math with a partner) or independently (math by myself). Students then choose activities from a choice board to work on. These activities help students explore and solidify math concepts.
