Observational Look-Fors next week
New Look For for next week:
Small group reading plans are present at reading table.
Look For's continued:
-Learning Targets that include a verb, the content/skill, and activity.
-Students beginning to communicate the learning target of the activity.
-Math manipulatives: All math lessons, all math activities have manipulatives, charts, etc to scaffold the math activity. If you do not, your activity is entirely at the abstract level and our kids need to be working at the concrete and representational level to firm up their understanding.
-Formative assessment is evident
