Day
1,
Morning
(15
minutes)
There
are
just
a
few
more
routines
that
we
need
to
go
over.
In
first
grade,
I
know
that
many
of
your
teachers
have
a
snack
time.
In
our
class
in
second
grade,
I
am
going
to
let
you
pick
when
you
would
like
to
eat
your
snack.
As
a
second
grader,
I
trust
that
you
know
when
your
body
is
hungry;
I
want
to
give
you
the
freedom
to
eat
your
snack
when
you
think
it
is
best.
One
rule
for
eating
snack
is
that
a
book
cannot
be
in
front
of
you.
I
care
a
lot
about
keeping
our
classroom
library
nice.
Snacks
can
make
our
books
messy,
even
if
we
are
really
careful.
So
you
cannot
eat
your
snack
if
you
are
reading
a
book.
You
may
also
go
to
the
bathroom
whenever
you
think
it
is
best.
As
a
second
grader,
you
should
know
when
that
is.
To
get
your
attention
during
work
time,
I
will
ring
the
wind
chimes.
Ring
the
chimes
so
students
can
hear
the
sound.
If
you
hear
the
chimes,
you
need
to
stop
what
you
are
doing
or
what
you
are
saying,
look
at
me,
and
listen.
Sometimes,
I
will
not
be
near
the
wind
chimes
and
need
to
get
your
attention.
I
may
say
a
phrase
like
Second
graders
to
get
your
attention.
If
we
are
going
to
transition
to
a
new
learning
activity,
I
will
put
on
a
song.
During
the
song,
you
should
finish
what
youre
working
on
or
what
youre
saying
and
put
away
your
materials.
By
the
end
of
the
song,
you
should
be
ready
for
the
next
learning
activity.
Have
the
students
practice
the
transition
and
listening
routines
by
giving
them
topics
to
talk
about
with
classmates
and
then
implementing
the
routine.
Purpose
Day
1,
Afternoon
(30
minutes)
Write
on
chart
paper
Why
do
we
have
school?
So,
here
we
are,
on
the
first
day
of
2nd
grade.
I
want
you
to
think
about
why
we
even
have
school.
Why
do
our
parents
make
us
come
here?
Why
are
there
laws
saying
students
are
supposed
to
be
in
school?
What
is
the
purpose
of
it?
I
want
you
to
think
hard
about
this
question.
Think
of
something
creative
that
maybe
no
one
else
thought
of.
Then
I
want
you
to
write
your
creative
thought
on
a
sticky
note
and
stick
it
up
here
on
this
paper.
Pass
out
sticky
notes
and
pencils.
Allow
students
time
to
think
and
come
up
with
an
answer.
Write
and
place
your
sticky
note
along
with
the
others
on
the
board.
Group
similar
answers
together
and
discuss
several
interesting
or
important
thoughts.
So,
I
wanted
all
of
you
to
think
about
why
we
have
school,
but
I
have
an
answer
too.
I
wrote
on
my
sticky
note
that
I
think
we
have
school
so
you
can
all
be
successful
in
your
lives.
To
me,
that
means
you
can
be
successful
now,
while
youre
in
second
grade,
and
later,
when
youre
beyond
second
grade.
That
means
I
want
to
teach
you
skills
and
topics
that
will
be
useful
to
you
for
your
life.
Were
going
to
hang
this
poster
up
on
the
wall
for
a
while,
and
we
may
revisit
it
later.
It
is
a
good
reminder
to
us
why
were
here.
We
will
also
hopefully
be
able
to
add
to
it
over
time.
Something
good
for
you
to
know
about
me
is
that
I
love
doing
things
for
a
reason.
I
want
to
know
why
Im
doing
something
before
I
do
it,
or
it
doesnt
seem
as
important.
When
I
dont
think
something
is
important,
I
usually
dont
try
my
best.
I
want
you
all
to
think
of
why
school
is
important
to
you
so
that
you
can
try
your
best
this
year.

Community
of
Learners
Day
2,
Morning
(5
minutes)
The
most
important
thing
that
you
need
to
keep
in
mind
this
year
is
that
we
are
a
community
of
learners.
The
decisions
that
you
make
affect
yourself
and
others.
I
want
you
to
make
decisions
that
help
all
of
us
learn.
Everyone
in
a
community
of
learners
should
be
helping
others
to
learn.
Let
me
give
you
a
few
examples.
Being
quiet
during
silent
reading
time
helps
others
learn
from
their
books.
Participating
in
a
group
discussion
helps
others
learn.
Explaining
your
understanding
to
a
friend
who
is
confused
about
a
topic
helps
others
learn.
That
is
our
primary
focus
in
the
classroom.
Learners
are
not
perfect.
They
do
not
know
everything.
I
do
not
expect
any
of
you
to
be
perfect.
You
will
make
mistakes
and
errors.
Sometimes,
those
mistakes
will
be
spelling
mistakes
or
math
errors.
Sometimes,
those
mistakes
will
be
when
we
make
decisions
that
are
not
the
best
decision.
There
will
be
consequences
for
our
decisions,
but
I
know
that
we
are
still
learning
and
improving
in
our
decision-making
skills.
I
also
get
to
be
a
part
of
this
community
of
learners.
We
are
all
learning
from
each
other.
You
help
me
learn!
I
am
learning
more
about
students
and
about
teaching
each
day;
since
I
am
learning,
I
will
sometimes
make
decisions
that
I
need
to
fix.
Just
like
you
are
learning,
so
am
I.
My
Values/How
to
Be
Successful
in
my
Class
Day
2,
Morning
(10
minutes)
Use
Anchor
Chart
D
There
are
a
few
different
things
that
I
value.
You
will
hear
me
talk
about
these
things
again
and
again,
for
the
WHOLE
year!
I
wanted
to
make
sure
you
all
knew
them
right
from
the
very
start
so
that
you
will
know
what
is
important
to
me
and
what
our
class
is
going
to
be
focusing
on.
We
already
know
that
I
value
our
community
of
learners.
That
is
my
big
umbrella
value;
all
of
these
things
fit
underneath
that
category.
The
first
thing
I
have
written
is
problem-solving
skills.
It
is
really
important
to
me
that
during
this
year
you
are
growing
in
your
problem-solving
skills
and
that
you
all
leave
this
class
knowing
how
to
solve
problems.
It
is
important
to
me
that
during
this
year
you
are
growing
in
your
problem-solving
skills!
This
is
so
important
because
if
you
are
a
problem-solver,
you
do
not
need
me
all
the
time.
This
applies
to
problems
in
subjects
like
Science,
Math,
and
Language
Arts.
It
also
applies
to
other
things,
like
problems
with
materials.
I
expect
that
if
you
accidentally
drop
your
snack
on
the
floor,
you
can
decide
on
how
to
best
clean
it
up.
I
will
be
here
to
help
you.
Remember,
we
are
all
learners,
so
you
are
not
expected
to
have
the
best
solution
to
every
problem
on
your
own.
You
are
expected
to
work
on
coming
up
with
a
solution.
Sometimes
that
solution
will
include
asking
classmates
for
help
or
telling
me
about
the
problem.
The
next
thing
that
I
value
is
collaboration.
This
means
working
and
talking
together
about
ideas
and
problems.
I
value
this
because
I
think
that
we
learn
from
each
other.
Everyone
has
different
ideas
and
different
ways
of
viewing
things;
these
different
ideas
help
us
to
learn.
Sometimes
others
know
more
about
certain
topics;
we
can
learn
from
them
in
this
way
too.
Another
thing
I
value
is
deep
thinking.
Deep
thinking
means
thinking
really
hard
about
something.
Its
when
you
take
a
problem
or
an
idea
and
think
through
it.
You
can
think
about
other
possibilities
and
solutions
than
just
your
initial
thought.
I
want
you
to
take
your
thinking
and
deepen
it
this
year.
You
will
see
many
examples
of
deep
thinking
this
year,
and
I
will
point
them
out
so
you
know
what
Im
talking
about.
The
last
value
Im
going
to
talk
about
ties
the
rest
together;
it
is
openness
and
acceptance
of
diversity.
Now,
those
are
all
really
big
words!
Let
me
explain
a
little
more.
Having
openness
means
we
have
an
open
mind;
we
are
willing
to
see
that
others
are
different
from
us
and
not
judge
them
for
it.
Diversity
is
a
way
of
saying
differences;
when
we
are
open
and
accepting
of
diversity,
we
accept
other
peoples
ideas,
personalities,
experiences,
and
culture.
Since
we
are
going
to
be
doing
so
much
problem
solving,
working
together,
and
thinking
deeply
this
year,
we
are
going
to
work
on
accepting
and
being
open
to
others
ideas
and
experiences.
Values
in
Practice
Day
2,
Morning
(90
minutes,
with
break)
So,
now
we
are
going
to
have
a
chance
to
try
out
those
skills
we
just
talked
about!
I
am
going
to
give
you
a
problem
to
solve
as
a
class.
So,
this
year
we
are
going
to
have
classroom
jobs.
Each
person
in
the
class
is
a
part
of
our
community,
so
each
person
will
get
a
job.
They
will
keep
their
job
until
Winter
Break.
I
want
you
to
work
as
a
class
choose
the
jobs
we
think
are
necessary
to
our
classroom.
I
want
you
to
begin
discussing
ideas
in
small
groups
before
we
come
together
as
a
large
group
to
make
a
final
decision.
Remember,
were
working
on
our
problem
solving,
our
teamwork,
our
deep
thinking,
and
accepting
others
ideas!
Students
will
be
in
groups
that
were
picked
collaboratively
the
day
before.
Give
the
students
ample
time
to
discuss
the
jobs
needed
in
groups.
Encourage
students
to
record
their
ideas
on
paper
or
sticky
notes.
Help
groups
think
though
their
ideas
more
thoroughly.
Give
suggestions
if
groups
get
stuck.
After
sufficient
time,
play
a
song
to
get
the
class
back
together.
Discussion
solutions
and
thoughts.
Record
the
thoughts
on
chart
paper
or
the
white
board,
possibly
using
sticky
notes
if
most
groups
used
them.
Highlight
the
values
displayed
during
the
discussion.
Repeat
the
collaborative
process
(group
work,
discussion,
etcetera)
to
decide
how
to
pick
who
gets
which
job.
Rules
Day
2,
Afternoon
Use
Anchor
Chart
E
We
have
a
few
rules
in
this
classroom.
Some
fall
under
the
category
of
respect.
Our
first
rule
is
about
listening
when
someone
is
speaking
when
we
are
meeting
as
a
whole
group.
Have
listening
ears
and
quiet
mouths
when
someone
is
speaking.
This
shows
our
respect
for
that
person
and
what
they
have
to
say.
Our
next
rule
is
Be
kind
to
others.
This
means
we
should
say
kind
words
and
do
kind
actions.
We
should
also
take
care
of
property
and
belongings.
We
need
to
respect
our
building
and
the
materials
that
we
have
to
work
with,
as
well
as
our
classmates
belongings.
Anything
we
borrow
we
should
use
gently.
We
need
to
respect
the
materials
our
school
has
given
for
us
to
use.
There
are
also
a
few
other
rules.
The
next
one
is
give
your
best
each
day.
It
is
important
to
me
that
you
give
your
best
to
your
learning
and
others
learning
in
this
classroom.
We
talked
about
the
things
that
are
important
to
me,
and
I
said
the
most
important
thing
is
our
community
of
learners.
If
you
give
your
best,
you
should
be
helping
yourself
and
others
to
learn.
I
want
you
to
know
that
I
expect
your
best,
but
I
understand
that
it
might
be
different
on
some
days.
When
something
sad
happens
at
home
or
you
have
a
cold,
your
best
for
that
day
will
probably
look
different.
That
is
okay,
but
I
want
to
see
the
best
that
you
have
to
give
for
that
day.
Remember
how
you
get
to
tell
me
how
youre
feeling
each
morning
when
you
come
in
the
classroom?
If
you
tell
me
something
is
bothering
you,
I
can
work
my
best
to
support
you
throughout
the
day
and
understand
your
behavior.
There
are
two
more
rules.
Make
safe
decisions
means
that
you
need
to
think
about
the
decisions
you
are
making,
and
ask
yourself
if
they
are
safe
before
doing
them.
The
last
rule
use
your
best
judgment
is
about
being
a
problem-solver.
You
will
need
to
make
many
decisions
in
this
classroom,
and
sometimes
may
have
to
make
a
difficult
decision
on
your
own
or
with
the
help
of
a
classmate.
In
these
cases,
you
should
use
your
best
judgment.
Remember,
we
are
all
learning,
so
if
I
see
something
happening
and
I
am
confused,
I
will
ask
you
why
you
are
doing
that
behavior.
It
is
important
to
me
that
I
dont
assume
or
blame
you
without
hearing
from
you
first.
Sometimes
you
are
using
your
best
judgment
about
a
situation
that
I
dont
know
the
whole
story
about.
Consequences
Day
2,
Afternoon
This
year,
I
also
want
you
to
understand
that
you
control
yourself.
You
are
responsible
for
your
own
decisions.
I
am
not
going
to
try
to
control
you;
you
are
the
only
person
that
can
control
yourself.
You
get
to
make
your
own
decisions.
I
will
try
my
best
to
help
you
make
the
best
decisions
you
can
make,
but
it
is
up
to
you.
In
our
class
this
year,
you
will
have
consequences
for
when
you
dont
follow
rules
and
make
choices
that
are
not
appropriate.
Part
of
my
job
is
teaching
you
how
to
make
good
decisions
in
your
life;
consequences
are
a
part
of
this.
The
decisions
you
make
will
have
an
affect
on
yourself,
others,
and
sometimes
property.
The
effects
can
be
good
or
bad.
When
the
effects
are
bad,
you
will
have
a
consequence.
Since
I
want
to
teach
you
how
to
be
successful
outside
of
this
classroom,
your
consequence
for
a
negative
behavior
will
match
the
behavior.
If
youre
talking
to
your
friends
when
I
am
modeling,
the
consequence
might
be
that
you
will
work
by
yourself
later
and
write
your
thoughts
rather
than
sharing
them.
Methods
with
Expectations
Day
3,
Morning
Use
Anchor
Chart
F
We
are
going
to
have
SO
many
different
ways
that
we
learn
this
year!
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
talk
about
those
so
you
know
what
they
are
and
so
you
know
what
my
expectations
of
you
are
when
we
participate
in
different
learning
activities.
The
reason
we
have
so
many
different
ways
we
learn
is
that
our
brains
are
capable
of
learning
in
different
ways
and
some
ways
work
best
for
certain
topics
or
certain
people.
We
want
to
have
a
variety
so
we
have
the
best
learning
experience.
Modeling
means
that
you
get
to
watch
an
expert
do
a
problem
or
show
a
strategy.
Sometimes,
I
am
the
expert.
Sometimes,
you
get
to
be
the
experts!
The
expert
might
also
think
aloud
so
we
can
understand
what
is
going
on
inside
their
head.
When
an
expert
is
modeling
and
talking,
I
expect
that
you
will
have
listening
ears
and
quiet
mouths
like
our
first
rule
says.
If
you
have
questions,
you
may
ask
them
after
the
modeling
is
over.
We
will
also
do
mini-lessons
sometimes.
This
means
that
you
will
listen
to
an
expert
share
ideas
and
information.
I
also
expect
you
all
to
have
listening
ears
and
quiet
mouths.
If
you
have
questions,
you
may
raise
your
hand
to
ask.
Another
thing
we
will
do
is
have
discussions.
This
means
that
our
whole
class
or
a
small
group
will
be
contributing
ideas
about
a
topic.
We
will
share
our
thoughts,
ideas,
and
experiences
with
each
other.
During
discussions,
I
expect
that
you
will
listen
to
whoever
is
speaking
and
wait
your
turn
to
speak.
I
also
expect
many
people
to
contribute.
We
will
talk
more
later
about
how
discussions
work.
Another
thing
that
you
will
often
see
me
do
in
our
class
this
year
is
write
down
our
class
ideas.
This
is
called
Visible
Thinking.
Since
our
thoughts
are
inside
our
heads,
we
want
to
share
them
to
get
them
outside
of
our
heads!
Sometimes
we
share
them
aloud
and
sometimes
we
share
them
through
writing.
Either
way,
I
like
to
make
sure
that
our
thoughts
during
important
discussions
are
recorded
so
we
can
look
back
later.
It
helps
all
of
us
remember
what
was
said
and
understand
better.
Now
lets
talk
about
what
ways
we
are
going
to
learn
during
work
time.
One
way
we
will
work
this
year
is
individually.
During
this
time,
I
want
you
to
focus
on
your
work
and
think
inside
your
head.
Some
people
really
like
working
individually
and
like
a
quiet
environment.
When
we
do
assessments,
some
of
them
will
be
individual
so
I
can
see
what
thinking
you
can
do
on
your
own.
Another
way
we
will
learn
during
work
time
is
through
collaboration.
That
means
working
together
in
pairs
or
groups.
We
will
learn
by
exchanging
ideas
with
others.
Weve
talked
about
how
I
value
us
working
together,
so
we
will
do
this
a
lot.
Sometimes,
we
will
do
collaborate
after
individual
work.
That
way,
you
will
have
time
to
think
in
your
head
and
then
share
with
others
later.
Now
lets
talk
about
what
were
actually
going
to
do
during
work
time.
One
thing
that
we
will
do
often
to
organize
our
thoughts
are
thinking
routines.
This
is
just
a
fancy
way
to
say
charts
that
help
us
put
our
thinking
on
paper
in
a
helpful
way.
These
help
us
to
understand
our
thoughts
and
help
us
to
show
them
to
others.
Most
of
the
other
things
that
we
do
during
work
time
will
be
projects
and
problems.
During
these,
I
want
you
to
use
your
deep
thinking,
the
knowledge
you
already
have,
and
your
problem-
solving
skills.
These
help
us
to
have
something
engaging
to
do
where
you
can
use
your
knowledge
rather
than
just
practice.
For
example,
we
wont
do
very
many
math
worksheets
practicing
addition
problems,
but
we
will
have
problems
to
solve
that
we
need
to
use
our
addition
for.
Well
be
using
these
teaching
methods
all
year.
I
wanted
to
tell
you
them
so
you
have
an
idea
of
what
to
expect
from
this
class.
Grading
&
Assessment
Day
3,
Morning
Use
objective
board.
You
can
see
that
up
on
this
board
every
day,
there
are
learning
goals
we
are
working
towards.
Sometimes,
a
learning
goal
for
one
topic
will
stay
on
our
board
for
a
long
time.
Sometimes
it
will
only
be
up
there
for
that
day.
These
are
the
learning
goals
that
I
am
going
to
be
assessing.
As
a
teacher,
I
have
to
decide
whether
or
not
you
understand
and
can
solve
certain
problems.
Sometimes,
I
need
to
know
these
things
so
I
can
decide
what
to
teach
next.
Sometimes,
I
need
to
know
these
things
to
put
them
in
report
cards
or
to
tell
the
principal
or
the
district
how
all
of
you
are
doing.
When
I
decide
how
much
you
know
or
can
do,
I
try
to
find
evidence.
I
look
at
your
assessments,
look
at
notes
Ive
taken,
things
I
remember
from
class
time,
projects
youve
handed
in
to
me,
and
more.
I
look
at
all
of
those
things
and
find
evidence
that
shows
you
understand.
