Plan
By Kelly Gaule
Grade: Kindergarten
When: First three days of school
Purpose: To let students know how my classroom expectations and
how the class will run
Then talk about how they must follow through with what they
decide and then they can give a high five to each other. Give
students and example situation. Repeat steps and have students
say each step with you.
6. Go through each part of our room: explore and model
expectations
Tell students that they will be doing a lot of learning around the
room and that each part of the room has different things in it and
they are called stations. As a whole group, go through each part
of the room. In each part tell students what it is called and what
it has. Then model how students should act. Model a right way
and a wrong way. Have students decide what is the right way.
Then have students quickly show how they would act in that
area.
When moving from area to area talk about how you will get their
attention by ringing chimes. The chimes mean that the station
time is over and to clean up the station. When it is cleaned up
the students will line up with their group by the station giving the
teacher five. When everyone is ready, the teacher will tell
them to move stations. Make sure you are going around the room
in the same direction they will be going every time they move a
station (clockwise, counter clockwise).
7. What we will learn at school stations
Break students up into groups and have them practice going
through stations. At each station place examples of things that
they will learn in kindergarten.
Areas of the classroom:
Science: nature things, magnets, push/pull objects, etc. Tell
students that they are scientists in this area learning about
the world around them.
Math: numbers, base ten blocks, ten frame, other math
manipulative. Tell students that they are mathematicians
who learn about numbers and math.
Reading: various books on the importance of school,
reading, and books. Tell students that they are readers
looking at books to learn
Writing: crayons, pencils, writing paper. Tell students that
they are authors and writers that write about their lives,
their favorite things, anything!
