Each classroom has their own behavior
system in place but we all use the Love and
Logic philosophy.
Children learn the best lessons when they’re given a task and allowed to
make their own choices (and fail) when the cost of failure is still small.
Children’s failures will be given with love and empathy from their
teachers in this room. The Love and Logic approach uses humor, hope,
and empathy to build up the adult/child relationship. It emphasizes
respect and dignity for both children and adults. It provides real limits in
a loving way and teaches consequences and healthy decision-making.
If you are interested in additional information and have
access to the Internet, you can read more about Love and
Logic on the website www.loveandlogic.com.

We are encouraging the children to be

• The Daily 5 is a structured language arts program that helps
students develop the daily habits of reading, writing, and working
with peers that will lead to a lifetime of independent literacy!
Students are carefully taught how to choose a good-fit (just-
right) book to read. Each student in our classroom has his/her
special book box to place all just-right books in.
While students work independently, teachers will teach guided
reading and confer with individual students.
While we work with a small reading group, all other students are
highly engaged in the Daily 5 reading activities around the room.

Text Types and Purposes
W.K.1. Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to
compose opinion pieces in which they tell a reader the topic or
the name of the book they are writing about and state an opinion
or preference about the topic or book (e.g., My favorite book
is...).
W.K.2. Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to
compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what
they are writing about and supply some information about the
topic.
W.K.3. Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to
narrate a single event or several loosely linked events, tell about
the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a
reaction to what happened.
24

W.K.5. With guidance and support from adults, respond to

of digital tools to produce and publish writing, including in
collaboration with peers.
Research to Build and Present Knowledge
W.K.7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g.,
