Kindergarten Pacing Guide, 2006-07

Chets Creek Elementary School 2008-09 First Grade Pacing Guide

It is the intent of this Pacing Guide to give teachers a “guideline” of the scope and sequence of the skills to be covered in first grade. Teachers, of course, will rely on their assessments at the benchmark periods and their assessments in between to make instructional decisions as it is our intent that decisions be data driven. However, for the teacher new to the grade level or for the teacher that wants to “check off” skills, this Pacing Guide can be used to lead a teacher through the grade level expectations. The Pacing Guide is written with Lucy Calkins “echoes across the day.” This means that if you are following the Pacing Guide, you will see themes in different curriculum repeated across the day and week.

To provide teachers with resources that they may be used to help them develop mini-lessons and themes, the following resources are suggested and are in Italics. Chapters within each of these books are identified with asterisk (*).

► RiverDeep: District Anchor Lessons ● Reading with Meaning by Debbie Miller (Stenhouse) ♦ Reading with Strategies (kit)  First Grade Writers by Stephanie Parsons ♥ Units of Study for Primary Writing by Lucy Calkins (Heinemann) ▼ Using Rubrics to Improve Writing (NCEE) ◄ Personal Narrative, Grade 1 (NCEE) ■ Mem Fox Author Study (NCEE) Writing Handbook (should be available Nov, 2008) ☺Kevin Henkes Author Study is available by requesting the 2007 version at [email protected]
