Hey y'all! We're off to a fun week of PD! This week I kicked our PD week of with curriculum mapping for each content area. Today the amazing science and social studies teams came in for a day full of fun and getting A.......L....O....T done! We looked up and it was already 2:00! Anyway, here's the big idea of what we did.... first, we looked at what goes into writing a curriculum map. Then, we took the standards and mapped out the entire year. After that, we worked to build lessons for each unit including: anchor charts, poems, songs, anchor texts, interactive notebooks, and so much more. The teachers made mock anchor charts and put everything in one binder. They were so excited that the stress of planning will be lessened in the fall. We also carved out some time for laughing, joking, and catching up of course!
These were the binder covers we used for each new unit.
These charts were guiding the teachers while they built their curriculum maps. We looked at what the trends of every purposeful science lesson were and the trends in social studies. Then we compiled a list of where to pull when building a unit. They had a blast finding so many things.
This was our weekly plan page for the lower grade levels. They were able to take their unit and write plans for a week. They also included any sample anchor charts, content vocabulary, anchor texts, and materials needed. Click on the pic to get a copy
