Math Workshop
Whole group instruction Alignment with new WA State Common Core Standards Hands-on experiences Connect hands-on experiences to the abstract (worksheets) Apply previous learning to new learning
Small group practice Emphasis on:
not only “doing the math,” but also applying the math communicating clearly (sharing strategies) using math vocabulary
Whole group discussion (after small group practice) “How did YOU figure it out?” “What other ways could you have figured it out?” “How do we use this in our real lives?”

Health and Fitness
Students go to P.E. twice a week with a P.E. teacher
Students learn skills that build to more formalized sports skills
Emphasis on: Building fitness and good lifelong habits Learning and remembering rules of group games Cooperation and taking turns Team work “Being a good winner and a good ‘loser’ ”
Importance of washing hands, coughing/sneezing into their arm (not their hand!)

Discipline and Guidance I believe in “Catching Students Being Good!”
Visual chart so students can monitor their own behavior
Emphasis on recognizing: Everyone makes mistakes We learn from our mistakes We try not to repeat our mistakes
Incentives and consequences: Stickers, awards, verbal praise, privileges Logical consequences (If you hurt someone’s feelings, you
need to figure out a way to help that child feel better)
