Focus for second semester
Deconstructing standards Talk about how we are going to teach the standard(s) Discuss any misconceptions students might have (prior to and after teaching the unit) Start identifying and looking for things that are components of lessons that are NOT tied to standards or are NOT meaningful Plan what manipulatives, anchor charts, and small group activities will be utilized to teach the standard and unit

Thinglink
ThingLink Education allows you to use interactive images as a new visual learning platform. You can create interactive lesson plans, calendars, and study books. Teachers can sign up students with a quick list import, arrange images into channels or projects, and use our mobile app for adding notes to images on field trips. The creative possibilities are endless!
