[quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten teacher here-- we regroup (or re-evaluate) every quarter and a little more often closer to the beginning of the year. During our FIT block right now, I have three small groups with my lowest students for 15 mins each. Two paras pull groups of very high students for 30ish min enrichment (5 of my students, more/less from other classes). Our ELD teachers also pull groups at this time.

When students are not in a group they are: finishing the independent follow-up phonics activity (differentiated usually), reading from the class library, or doing a center activity related to our knowledge domains. Right now I have farms, plants, and stories, so the popular ones are farm magnatiles/blocks, puppets to retell stories, coloring pages, puzzles, and leftover crafts from previous lessons that they want to make again. They can also go on chromebooks to play Boost or use Tumblebooks, PebbleGo, Epic, etc but that's not a popular option with my class. The goal is to keep them quiet and productive so my small group can focus, but it's also some less structured time to make choices and be with friends.

After a few years of trial and error, I feel like my team finally has a good routine that works well.[/quote]
