Math

In math we have been using rotations. With this method, students are assigned to groups and move from one station of activities to the next at their own pace. They are usually assigned a station to start at then move at their own pace. This also give me the opportunity to work with smaller groups of children on skills that are specific to them. When a skill needs to be taught to the entire class, we do a whole class lesson. Another thing you might have seen come home is Math 4 Today. In this activity we are reviewing skills taught and also they include challenges that the students haven't been taught yet. For this activity they are allowed to work with a partner to see if they can figure it out. If not they will either get it when we correct as a class or when the skills comes up in the standards and we teach it to mastery at that point.
