This form is used with the HighScope curriculum at the Primary level so that students can plan out their projects in a meaningful way. This promotes higher level thinking and incorporates cross-curricular connections. You can also edit it if your learning centers are different than mine are.

Use this word document as a template for first grade lesson plans. It has spaces for Guided Reading groups and small group writing intervention groups. The form can be modified to meet your individual needs. It is customized for Daily Five and has space for spelling words, sight words, read alouds, and an interactive read aloud. There is plenty of space to write in the CCSS standards too!

Use this blank words template for testing CVC words, long/short vowel words, sight words, words, r-controlled vowel words, blends, or any other group of words that you have been working on in class. I find it especially helpful to write in the words and then copy onto cardstock and put in plastic sheet protectors so that I can re-use it year after year. Then I can track the data of who knows what!

Use this form for students to highlight their choices each day for Daily Five. I use one form per Guided Reading group. This way, I can easily see who is doing what and manage their literacy time. The choices on my form (it can be edited for your individual needs) are as follows: Read to Self, Writing, Word Work, Technology, Read to Others/Listen. I have extra spaces for Read to Self and Technology because I want students to do those twice during the week but, again, you can make it work for you

Early Elementary partner editing checklist for use with writing and Writer's Workshop. Students use this checklist to work with a partner and edit one another's writing. This helps them to become more independent.

This page can be used for students to place stickers so they can display their incentives proudly! You can keep them on their desks or tables or hang them on the wall. I copy them on to cardstock for more durability.

Use this chant when students line up as a visual and verbal method to get students lined up efficiently and quickly. I keep mine on my wall and on my clipboard.
