On the first day of school, our principal asked us to write down a goal we have for the upcoming year. My goal was to spend more time reflecting on my lessons with the students. I always had good intentions...if we had a few minutes at the end of the lesson we would orally reflect on what was learned but I felt like something was missing or it was inconsistent. I was looking for a way to make this a part of our daily lessons and be able to connect previous learning with current lessons.
Put these ideas together and you get "Lesson Trackers".
First, we meet on the carpet and for a mini-lesson. After the skill is taught and modeled, I write down the topic of the lesson (Melissa teaches older students and she has the kids write the topic/reflection on the posters). After the students do the independent part of the lesson, we meet again on the carpet and discuss how they applied the skill and I write their thoughts in the reflection column.
These posters have been a great addition to our daily routine! We hope you can find them useful, too!

{Please note: I did take the posters to a local print shop and had them enlarged}

Somehow it won't let me download it. Will it be possible for you to email the copies to me?

Hope this helps. ;)
Thank you! This is a great idea. I always need a visual!
Just found this and LOVE them!!!! I think you need to make a "Content Workshop" one for Science / Social Studies now... :)
