In first grade this year, your child will be partcipating in the "Worktime in First Grade" program.  This program provides all children opportunites for differentiated work while independently practicing grade level skills.   Students will become a self-directed and self-regulated learner.
 
Worktime in First Grade provides first graders the opportunites to practice:
  • being independent, self-directed, and self-regulated
  • thinking about choices and making decisions
  • developing task persistence and stamina
  • being organized
  • working cooperatively and supporting peers
  • taking turns and sharing
  • developing grade level skills and concepts
The worktime centers for first grade are:
  • Reading
  • Writing
  • Spelling
  • Mathematics
  • Computers
  • Science & Social Studies

Students will work in one center each day on a six day rotation.  They will complete all six centers in six days.  Work will be collected and assessed.  While students are working on the centers, teachers are working with small groups based on individual reading levels.
