I also am teaching a multi-age class next year and so it was difficult to put in the units where I would be teaching 2 separate classes and it still be a worthwhile piece of work. Whew. Lots of hours on the computer and technically still not done. The reading component I'm not too worried about. I can plug that in anytime. I do guided reading during Daily 5 so I'll use that column to fill in which days I'm teaching which Daily 5 Choice at the beginning of the year, then the remainder will be small group instruction, Words Their Way, and Handwriting (yeah, handwriting is chunked in with reading...not sure why but it is...I'll deal with it). The Math however, will be a bit different. We use EveryDay Math which spirals. So I'll probably put in the overlying Unit "objectives" for each grade...but not quite sure what that'll look like.
Either way...here it is right now....in all it's glory!
Hi Deborah! Thanks for stopping by and the comment. I do love me some comments on here :)
ReplyDeleteI admit that it did take some time,and gray hairs. I went back and forth with using Excel or Word, and I'm not amazing with either of those to begin with. What really helped is knowing what exactly I needed to have on there. I thought about just doing English/Language Arts on one page and the other stuff separate but managed to make them all fit. I realize now that I forgot health >.<
Luckily, our district mapped out ELA and Science/Social studies for us so it was a matter of plugging them all in. Getting 1st and 2nd to mesh was a different story but I'm going to do my best!
When I sit down to do Math, I really will look at each unit and plug it in where it goes. The nitty gritty details will go into my lesson plans, but this will be the outline so I can also keep a heads up for supplemental work for the upcoming units.
Thanks for the question, hope that answered it! (yay, Common Core!)
