اسلاید 32: 90 Minute Reading BlockThe framework models both whole class and small group instruction. Whole class instruction provides an efficient and equitable way to initiate instruction.Small group instruction enables teachers to focus on specific skill needs and intensifies instruction based on student progress.

اسلاید 38: Inquiry Based LearningInquiry based learning is an in-depth investigation of a real world topic worthy of kindergartners’ attention and effort. It is the application of skills and standards acquired earlier. Inquiry based learning is carried out by both large and small groups of students.38
اسلاید 39: Inquiry Based LearningIt offers first hand research and documentation of findings in a variety of ways. Kindergartners have an opportunity to apply math, language skills and knowledge, increasing their curriculum connections between the subjects. The inquiry is not unstructured. There is a beginning, middle, and end. The teacher is an organizer and consultant guided by kindergartner’s thoughts and questions. 39
اسلاید 40: Inquiry Based LearningThroughout the inquiry, kindergartners may draw, discuss, write, collect data, count, and measure, calculate, predict, construct models, draw diagrams, make graphs, record observations, read for information, sing songs, or share plays. The topics of study have direct connections to local, people, places and events.40
اسلاید 41: Inquiry Based LearningThere are five structural features to inquiry based learning: discussion, fieldwork, representation, investigation, and display.41
