How do you create your grade level website on your specific schools webpage?

We would like to switch unit 6 with unit 3.  There seems to be A LOT of area and perimeter on State Assessments and less measurement.  We are concerned that we won't get enough practice before assessment time.

We used I-station math very successfully in Math Intervention and now it is gone without teachers having input

What specific components of Reading Street is everyone teaching? There is SO MUCH with RS, and I would like to see the district prioritize what components they find most important.  There is too much to get through in the length of time we are given.

Have you considered moving Opinion writing to the beginning of the year and Narrative to the end? The Common Core requires opinion writing throughout the curriculum

What resources are we supposed to use to teach cursive? I understand that we are still expected to use HWT, but we are not being provided with the workbooks. Seems... frustrating?

I agree about handwriting.  Lack of resources is going to be a problem.

Agreed, my students preferred IStation math over the reading.

Handwriting books were also nice to help students build their fine motor skills.  They need practice with handwriting (writing it AND reading it) and the books were great!  Too many devices in their hands and their handwriting is showing this.

I agree.  My students enjoyed iStation math and it gives us, as teachers a lot of useful information.

Thank you for the info about Handwriting book/pages.  I like the idea of being able to print the pages we want!

Why did we take away Type to Learn for 3rd grade.  We need to give them the tools to word process by this age.

iStation was one of the best things the district did with math.  I loved the data we got from it as teachers.  Please bring it back.

We use the on-line assessments available through the Reading Street curriculum.  We're hoping that can continue.

iStation math is important for data and for differentiation... not sure what we would use in place of that

Could we move Animals Through Time to the first trimester? It goes better with RS in the first trimester along with Flower Power.

As a new teacher to the district; when will we get access to reading street, mystery science, etc..

Cursive handwriting will be practiced in 3rd grade.

Regarding the class pages question. You can go into Class Pages and click on Library, then Learning Content. From here you will see a list of district course pages to choose from. You can just use the page as a resource and copy or download documents, or you can click on 'Use This Resource" where you can copy the page and make edits where you would like. The district web pages are set up more as a teacher resource than a page of links for students.

We will also link the SECD standards to the site. Thank you!

There were several requests made to move unit progression around in math, ELA, and science. Thank you for the feedback! The teams will reconvene throughout the year and again at the end of the year and will look over all suggestions made in addition to the padlet of feedback. We did communicate that changes will be made at the end of the school year to help provide stability to the structure, scope and sequence communicated August 13th. If it's a major issue we can surely reconvene before then, but will try to not make big changes until we've lived through the curriculum sequence for a year. For now, we do ask we teach the units in the order posted and will reconvene as a team in September in case any of these are hot topic concerns that can't wait.

For IStation: iStation ELA is free from the state. iStation math was not and we paid for it last year. Feedback shared with us was that it wasn't that robust. Seeing that there are mixed reviews on here with some strong support for iStation math we will take another look at this and see what options we can provide those who want to still use it.

# data[].attributes.body
Basics for reading street. It is certainly robust! The next step for the committee is to work on unit design, so these questions are helpful. More information will come forth very soon. Practicing activities that best align with the standards selected would be the priority here. This is a great suggestion for a basic document!

# data[].attributes.body
Common assessments: this is phase 2 of the curriculum alignment plan, so this should begin with training this summer and be designed over the course of next year. Pretests will be teacher created!

I will look into Type to Learn and get back with you...

iStation: ELA is free and will continue to be a resource used. Math was paid for and we were receiving negative feedback in use and user-ability. Shall we discuss then again?

Access to Online materials: the hold up is waiting for IT to set up the Single Sign on in connection with all the different vendors. We are pushing for this!

# data[].attributes.body
We are still using Handwriting Without Tears to teach cursive!:)
All teachers have a Teacher's Manual which dictates the sequence of letter introduction and offers lesson direction. The HWT's lined paper can be ordered from IRC (IRCrequests). Learning Coaches are wonderful resources to help you generate authentic practice opportunities!
