I Do, We Do, You Do
Setting a knowledge base is crucial to ensure that all of your students have shared knowledge at the start of a lesson.
Lean on the explicit lesson plans available to you to set the stage, then guide your students through lessons using the gradual release model: I Do (Teach), We Do (Guided Practice), You Do (Independent Practice). The planning has been done for you, including objectives, prep lists, and activities.
Reteach & Enrich
Each lesson plan has a Reteach & Enrich section, which is great to check student understanding, but don’t miss Assign Recommended Resources in your assessment performance reports!
When you view assessment data, you have the option to automatically assign recommended resources depending on whether students need to revisit, relearn, or extend skills. With reviews happening after each lesson, module, and unit, you can monitor progress throughout the year to ensure students aren’t left behind.
Make Learning Joyful
It’s no secret that students learn best when they’re engaged, having fun, and motivated. So between a quirky cast of characters to guide them through instruction, interactive practice opportunities, a star-rewards system, and high-interest texts, students are going to be engaged and learning.
Your students are going to love the characters in Foundations A-Z (if they don’t already!), so keep these coloring sheets ready for celebrations and classroom decorations!
