Grab and Go Breakfast
We have had a small issue with students being sent to the cafeteria when they are late to eat breakfast. We do not want the students to be unattended and we also do not want students to be hungry. We will now be serving a grab and go breakfast to late students who are hungry. This will be a breakfast that they can pick up and eat in the classroom. This breakfast will be served up until 9 am. Please know that if you send a student to get breakfast, they should return back quickly and not miss any class time. Thank you!

ROCK 1- Small groups
Small Groups
Strong small group tables are organized:
Standard-aligned questions
Teacher exemplar
Teacher question stems
Dry-erase boards/markers
Paper & pencils
Manipulatives (if applicable)
Anchor chart
Designated Supports (if applicable)
Small Group Preparation
Successful small group preparation involves thoroughly analyzing student work. Examining student work and talking directly to students about their work is the most reliable method for determining students’ misconceptions and determining if there is a procedural or conceptual gap.
These are the steps involved in planning a data-based small group session:
- identify students in need of support
- select student expectation
- select standard-aligned problems (standard aligned questions may isolate a particular part of a standard or may break the skill into bite-size pieces that are along the trajectory of understanding the standard to its fullest.)
- create an exemplar & sequence problems
- list common or observed misconceptions
- write diagnostic questions to isolate the misconception(s)
- teach/fine tune a specific strategy
Steps 4-6 are really not linear. As you create the exemplar, misconceptions may surface, and questions to ask to identify the gap or a misconception may also surface.
The goal of a small group session is to identify a gap and correct a misconception regarding conceptual or procedural understanding. Therefore teachers should focus on the concept or procedure within the context of a problem – not the problem. Use the problem as a vehicle to address the underlying issue. Then, strategically sequence the problems to be completed based on a learning trajectory geared towards comprehension and mastery of the targeted student expectations.
Guided Reading Refresher
Clarification: This is not including STRIPE. STRIPE is our intervention time but does NOT replace Guided Reading that should be going on every single day in our ELA blocks in K-2.

ROCK 2- Progress and Aggressive Monitoring
When do I aggressively monitor and how?
Aggressive Monitoring should happen whenever you ask students to practice during the lesson. Here's how:
- Have your exemplar for all independent practice in hand.
- Announce the purpose of each lap (identified through your exemplar).
- Follow the pathway of highest performing to lowest performing student.
- Provide written and verbal feedback to students using the established coding system and assessing and advancing questions.
- Collect qualitative data to inform instructional decisions based on each lap.
