Ours will be our carpet area. Depending on the check in or break we will either sit along the edges or in assigned squares.
2. Developing the concept of "good fit" books.
When I taught 1st grade I often brought in difficult books to model this and used the Goldilocks story as a basis to find the Just Right Book. I've noticed that some students are not familiar with this fairy tale due to culture or exposure. Either way laying the foundation with literature is a must and cannot be assumed that all students are aware of the story. This could be why the Sisters used the shoe idea?
I have always enjoyed making criteria charts and rubrics with student input, so anchor charts are just along the same lines in my opinion. By making it with the students it makes them have more buy-in to comply and succeed. Of course having in mind what it should cover and look like is helpful and thanks to the Internet ideas are shared.
I'm really hoping to find my book boxes. Students pictures will be on the front and
5. Calm Signals and check in procedures
I need to look though my boxes. I use to have a chime thing I hope I can find it again. If not I might be using music as I have in the past to signal students time is up and to return to our gathering spot. When the song is over they should be ready for next task.
I'd like to use of students assessing how they feel they did while working so they are giving feedback. I might make a rubric with students to share if they were working at 5-4-3-2-1 level of work. I'm not a big fan of thumbs up. Hook'em Horns
6. Using the correct model/incorrect model approach for demonstrating appropriate behaviors.
Baby steps to demonstrate and set expectations. I like to show the wrong way and having students describe what I did wrong. I like how in the book making a point to have a student who may have issues doing it correct be the one to do model the correct way.
