Lesson+Ideas+&+Unit+Plans

As a special help to my supervising teacher, I created this letter to send home to the families of all our students. It explains the brand new reading curriculum their child will be learning from this school year, the Early Literacy Skills Builder (ELSB). What a hands-on way for me to practice corresponding with the families of my students!

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> This will be an exciting week. I have planned each and every lesson that I'll be teaching all by myself! My plans are in an abbreviated format, and not the traditional UCF lesson plan any longer. Nevertheless, you'll find ideas for what we'll be learning in Reading, Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Skills.

It's my second-to-last week of Internship, so my lessons are scaled back compared to what I've been contributing. Reading was my subject of focus, so we'll be learning all about the letter B - recognizing it within print and in isolation, practicing it in writing, and lots more fun!
