Guided Math and Reading! Differentiation is our big focus. We have been coming up with really good ideas to manage centers! Past experience shows that children perform much better in small group setting. We will do guided math and guided reading daily. We are very excited about the opportunity to have 2 teachers in the classroom as this teaching method will be twice as effective for every single child. Students will be challenged based on their instructional level as opposed to being plateaued or left behind. It all starts this week!
