Writing Curriculum  Writer’s Workshop  Lucy Calkins – Units of Study  Narrative, information/lab reports, opinion/persuasive and poetry  Writing Process  Generating ideas, drafting, revising, editing, publishing

Math Curriculum  Eureka – A Story of Units  A comprehensive curriculum written by a team of teachers and mathematicians who took great care to present mathematics in a logical progression, preparing students to understand advanced math  Developed specifically to meet the math standards adopted by our state  Connects math to the real world in ways that take the fear out of math and build student confidence  Teaches math as a “story” to build students’ mathematical knowledge logically and help them achieve deep understanding  This approach can be unfamiliar to those of us who grew up memorizing mathematical facts and formulas

Eureka for Parents  Understand that students are learning math in a way that will prepare them for the higher demands of college and careers today and in the future Focused math skills and real-world, challenging problems   Read the Parent Roadmap for your child’s grade level  At the beginning of each module… Read the Parent Tip Sheet to get an overview of the topics  your child will be learning and how you can support this learning at home  Recognize that Eureka Math lessons can be customized by teachers to meet the varying needs of students http://greatminds.net/support/parents https://www.zearn.org/

Science/Social Skills/Social Studies Curriculum  September, October, November  Sun, Moon and Stars (Shadows)  Systems and Technology  Second Step Social Skills  Community Citizenship and Government  December, January, February  Force and Motion  Second Step Social Skills  Economics  March, April, May, June  Second Step Social Skills  History and Geography/History Trunk  Ecosystems  Organisms, Life Cycle of a Plant, Hand Pollinators, Agricultural Engineers, Wetland Ecosystem

Social Studies Update  Community, Citizenship and Government This inquiry highlights the  idea that even primary-age children can begin thinking about their civic roles in their communities and beyond. Those roles can be made real and vital to young children by exploring the traits or characteristics that represent responsible citizenship. Those traits — respecting others, behaving honestly, helping others, making and obeying rules and laws, basic structure of government, being informed, and sharing needed resources — will be familiar to students through their experiences in their home and school lives.

Classroom Expectations Take Home Folders  Sent home and brought back to school daily  Unfinished Work Folders  Work from the week that is unfinished is kept in this folder  Each day students will be given a chance to work on their unfinished work  If work is still unfinished by Friday, it will be coming home to do over the weekend  Homework  Weekly homework menu  District K – 5 Homework Guidelines for Parents: The length of time a child should spend on  homework, including reading, and projects is 10-20 minutes in grades K-2, and 30 – 45 in grades 3 – 5. If your child regularly requires a great deal more time than this to complete assignments, you should contact your child’s teacher. If your child does not have homework or finishes early, it is always a good idea to spend time reading or reviewing math facts. Behavior  Classroom Rules/Procedures/Expectations  Individual Rewards  Clip chart with behavior certificates and occasional prizes  Team Points  Winning team each week gets a prize  Bobcat Coin Jar  Earned as a class, rewarded when full (extra recess, game time, movie/popcorn) 

Schoolwide Expectations  The Bobcat Way  Explicitly taught expected behaviors for common areas such as lunchroom, playground, hallway, restroom  Students rewarded with Bobcat Coins when “caught” following the Bobcat Way  First school wide goal: 500 coins  School wide reward  PBSES  Positive Behavior and Social Emotional Support  Progressive Behavior Intervention Program  For minor behaviors:  Teacher reminder, break in classroom, break in another classroom (reflection sheet and parent contact), referral to office  For major behaviors:  Referral to office
