Math Workshop-During Math Workshop we use a hands-on based learning approach aligned with the Common Core State Standards. Reader's workshop-A whole group mini lesson is taught at the beginning of Reader's Workshop. After, we read independently and in partners. At this time, I meet with small guided reading groups or individual students to work on reading skills. Recess Lunch Quiet Time-This is a short time where students may read or draw.
