Bring on the questions! Connecting with...Hi Rachel! Bring on the questions! Connecting with people is our favorite part of blogging! We have the Math in Focus program and our district created a pacing guide based on the chapters in the program. We just completed our third year with the program and Mollie and I are ready to make some changes. :) We are looking at introducing Guided Math into our classrooms next year so keep an eye out, this summer we will be planning and blogging all about our Guided Math adventure. Our pretests come from Math in Focus but we are looking at giving our post test as our pretest next year. We feel like if we are not sending the tests home and are solely using them to help guide our instruction and to show growth, we feel like the post test is the best way to do that. We like to complete 20 minute of word study a day. The recommendation at the fourth grade level is actually only three times a week but we like consistency and so we try to do something every day. It also allows us to take longer activities and carry them over into a second day. Did I answer everything? What else ya got? Haha! :) Hope to talk to you soon!Two Nutty Teachershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946366360167138642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179158485763074249.post-64275805168025909732015-05-27T18:31:54.785-07:002015-05-27T18:31:54.785-07:00Hi! Okay I just found your wonderful blog. I have ...Hi! Okay I just found your wonderful blog. I have a lot of questions. But I will start off with a few. What does your math pacing guide look like? We don't really have a program which is great, and I am not a huge fan of Engage NY so I want to create my own, but I am only a second year teacher and I am unsure of how to pace correctly. Also what do your pre-tests look like? How do you do your word study? Is it like 15 minutes every day or how exactly does it look in your classroom? Sorry I know this is a late comment, but I am really trying to prepare for next year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11980486712852451884noreply@blogger.com
