We will be utilizing the curriculum Math In Focus as one of our key resources this year for teaching the kindergarten grade level standards. We will also be using many other resources that support the kindergarten standards. We will be using a math workshop model of instruction that begins each math block with a whole group mini lesson and then transitions to a block of time for independent practice/ partner work, which is when we are reinforcing previous and new concepts that are taught. The students are engaging in activities that include hands on activities, a teacher station and an interactive notebook.
