3. Celebrations

4. Reading Information

Jennifer Fernandez

Jennifer Fernandez is our Literacy Coach at GTES.

IRLA: Independent Reading Level Assessment; Individual Conferencing; Goal Setting; Stamina Building (engage in 30 minutes of independent reading at school).

Whole Group standards based instruction using ReadyGEN; Small group with students struggling with a certain skill; STAR Time (independent reading).

Students have 30 minutes of independent reading each day and students are provided a “Power Goal”. A power goal is what students should be working on before their next conference. All power goals are aligned with Common Core and Florida State Standards. Students will always have a power goal.

Recently, classrooms have implemented IRLA folders.

Power Goals differ within the grade levels.

Yellows: print concepts

Greens: power words/blends/comprehension

Blues: chunking/rhyming/comprehension

Reds: multisyllabic/tricky words/comprehension

Whites, Blacks, Oranges, Purples: academic vocabulary/comprehension

Since IRLA is at a child’s independent level, the books should be fast, fun, and easy to allow students to practice power goals (foundational and comprehension).

Students receive steps when reading. They receive 2 steps for every 15 minutes they read. So, students should be reading 2 steps and in school and 2 steps at home for a total of 4 steps per day.

5. Math Information

Jackie Cannarella

Jackie Cannarella is our Math Coach at GTES.

Her goal is to support the classroom teachers with classroom instruction to help students become college and career ready.

As a math coach, she is working with teachers to help students understand concepts in math.

Focus on fluency skills through the teaching of basic facts. Fluency refers to having efficient and accurate methods for computing. Students exhibit computational fluency when they demonstrate flexibility in the computational methods they choose.

Kindergarten Fluency: Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality and fluency; add and subtract within 5.

1st Grade Fluency: Fluently add and subtract within 10.

2nd Grade Fluency: Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies. Add and subtract within 100 using mental strategies.

3rd Grade Fluency: Fluently multiply and divide within 100. Add and subtract within 1000 using mental strategies.

4th Grade Fluency: Fluently add and subtract whole digit numbers.

5th Grade Fluency: Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Focus on concepts before procedures.

Khan Academy is a resource for parents and teachers to use to help with math instruction and applying strategies.
