Hi Everyone, This is my second year at my K-5, two building position. Last year I created a scope and sequence for my grade levels , but looking over it now there was really no real solid themes, since they only get a lesson every other week (there is an aide reading and running check out when I am in the other building) everything is a bit choppy, so I thought of making my units more themed, and do one per marking period. My Marking Period is half what everyone else's is because I am split between the two places, and my aide can't do instruction. I always try to do TOO may things, so I am thinking if I structure things life would be MUCH easier. For Example I charted out my 5th grade First Marking Period: Fiction (genres, book reviews, reading fiction strategies and such) Second marking Period: Reference Skills (Print and Online) leading into Databases Third Marking Period: Research Project, Databases 4th Marking Period: Media Literacy very simplified but it makes sense to me to break things up. I also think I will be doing grades for the first time next year so I want to have my lessons more unit based, so I can do assessments. Does anyone do something similar, and would be willing to share how they break up the content they cover? I want to see if I am missing anything, or if I can teach the skills I already do in a new way. I am thinking Reading Across the World as an overall theme for first grade, with stories and songs each month from a different Country. Now I am babbling more, haha, sorry. If you have Themes would you please reply to me offlist. I can share a hit after if anyone wants. Melissa B.
