The students enjoy picture books with few words, and are good at chiming books, or other books with a pattern such as repeated phrases. It will be a primarily constructivist classroom because the students will guide their own learning. They will do this through having a lot of student choice in activities and participate in hands-on activities. There will be times that behaviorist methods such as direct instruction will occur. This will be the case when introducing new, difficult material that the students may not yet know how to conduct their own learning. However, for the most part the students will always be allowed to converse with their peers about any type of instruction that happens. An important goal during the year for my students will be to properly point out and understand the different parts and features in a sentence. This goal will build during the year to understanding parts of a page, then to parts of the story as a whole. I think it is important to start with the sentence structure, and build up from there. Another goal for my students will be that they can retell stories and point out the central message or lesson from the story. For example, “Frog and Toad Are Friends” tells the message that a friend will be a friend no matter what. Finally, the students will be able to use the pictures in a story to tell what is happening. This will occur before reading every book when we take a picture walk.

RL.1.2 Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.

RF.1.1 Demonstrate understanding of the organization

and basic features of print.
· RF.1.1.a Recognize the distinguishing

features of a sentence (e.g., first word, capitalization, ending punctuation).

RI.1.7 Use the illustrations and details in a text to describe its key ideas.
