DAY to DAYDAY to DAY

• Our class varies from day to day, but a typical day in my class looks like the following:

• Warm-up – Students are expected to be completing the warm-up and have their work out from the previous day.

• Review of last night’s work as a class.• Lesson or a review lesson: This includes book reading,

note-taking, and many examples.• Activity and/or Work: On certain days, I will have

activities for students to participate in. Other days, I get students started on the work. This is the students time to complete part of the assignment and ask questions.

• Textbooks are kept in the classroom, so every student should have a class and home set.
