Daily Schedule

Mrs. Stagg’s Daily Schedule

8:00-8:10 Bell work
Students are greeted each morning, then unpack and go to their tables where an activity is waiting for them on the smartboard to complete on their ‘magic boards’.
8:10-8:30 Morning Meeting
Students meet me on the carpet, where we use the smart board to complete daily language practice, phonics, poetry study, introduction to stations, morning message, storytelling, interactive read-alouds, interactive writing, Reader’s Workshop mini lesson and more.
8:30-9:15 Reader’s Workshop
Students practice target skills and strategies taught in the mini lesson while reading self selected books independently from a ‘just right’ leveled tub. At this time, I will walk around the room conferencing with students about their text and varying reading strategies.
9:15- 10:15 Literacy Stations
Students are ability grouped for this part of the day, where they rotate every 15 minutes to stations, including guided reading, writing, pocket chart, game, art, library, science, listening, computer, technology, retelling, big book, poetry, buddy reading and more. Station assignments change daily and are leveled based on ability.
10:15- 10:45 RECESS
Students have supervised playtime on the front playgrounds (not the new one). Three teachers are on duty each day and there is one practice room where students can go if they need to finish work or practice a skill they are not mastering (walking in line, listening, etc). Practice room lasts for the first 10 minutes or recess, after which students are are escorted out to finish recess with their classmates.
10:45- 11:03 Model Writing
The students come in and join me on the green carpet where I teach writing mini lesson and model writing on smart board or chart paper.
11:03-11:45 Lunch/ Lunch Recess/ Restroom Break
We arrive at the cafeteria at 11:03. Students eat until 11:23, when they clean up their mess and head outside for lunch recess. On rainy or extremely cold days, students stay inside to read or talk quietly.
11:45-12:15 Writer's Workshop
Students apply mini lesson skills in their draft book during this quiet writing time. This is the time when I conference with writers about their work and how to improve.
12:15-12:30 Author Share
Students can share their writing with the class when we meet on the green carpet.
12:30-1:00 Science/ Social Studies
Students learn about a variety of topics using technology, literature, and hands on experiments. We alternate Science and Social Studies as needed.
1:00-1:20 Math Meeting & Lesson
Students meet on the rug for daily math practice on the smart board, followed by the Pearson mini lesson and guided practice. If time, students complete the worksheet that accompanies the Pearson lesson independently.
1:20-2:20 CAMP
Students get 30 min of PE each day and alternate weekly between Computer, Art, and Music
2:20-2:45 Math Stations/ Small Group Instruction
Students complete a job from their assigned math station, while I pull students small groups to work with them on different topics, depending on need.
2:45 Pack up/ Novel Reading
As the students pack up, I read from a novel that will be on going for several weeks. Some of my favorites include "The Story of Dr. Doolittle," "The Trumpet of the Swan," and "Stuart Little."
3:00 Dismissal
Students dismiss into the hallway and are escorted by the teacher on duty to their destination for pick up.
