Sunshine State Standards

The Sunshine State Standards are broken down by grade and by subject area. They are a guideline of expectations of what the students will learn in each subject

• Reading and Literary Analysis (these are two separate standards)

• Writing Process & Writing Applications• Communication (NEW!)• Science• Social Studies• Math

How do we implement the

Reading Standards?Through various lesson from

our Trade Book, as well as….• Shared Reading - The

teacher models what a skilled reader does with text such as print concepts, strategies, and comprehension. The students engage with the particular text over a series of repeated readings for a variety of purposes.

• Read Aloud- reading aloud to students in order to foster their love of reading and to expose students to a variety of story structures, genres and authors.

• Guided Reading Students work in small groups based on instructional level in which they: – develop print concepts– use of cuing systems– Comprehension– Vocabulary

Shared Reading

Guided Reading

Don’t forget… Independent Reading

Students read text independently • to build fluency• for information• to apply strategies introduced by

the teacher

Literary Analysis Standards

• Literary Analysis differs from the Reading process standards because it focuses on

• Fiction• Non Fiction

Writing Process & Writing Applications

Writing Process: • Pre-Writing• Drafting• Revising• Editing• Publishing

Writing Applications• Creative• Informative• Persuasive

How Do we Implement the Writing Standards?

Through Lessons and Strategies of:• Modeled Writing• Shared Writing• Interactive Writing• Writer’s Workshop

Modeled WritingStudents observe the

teacher writing rather than contribute or collaborate during this experience.

Teacher models strategies, techniques, conventions, writing process, language or form by thinking aloud as she writes.

Shared Writing• Teachers and students collaborate to

create a piece of writing with the teacher holding the pen and the students contributing ideas. Examples of shared writing include the following:

• Language skills in context of written piece.

• Story innovation• * graphic organizers• Story planning * retellings

Interactive WritingTeachers and student collaborate to

create a piece of writing with the teacher and the student sharing the pen (a form of shared writing).

Students contribute ideas during this writing experience.

Writer’s WorkshopIn-Class Writing

Sunshine State Communication

StandardsThis the newest standard added. This

engages the writing process and writes to communicate ideas and experiences.

• Penmanship –a form of communication• Listening and speaking-listen, using

language to retell and participate in conversation, making eye contact and facing the speaker.

• Anchors was developed to provide lessons that teach Hillsborough County Expectations.

• Anchors provides best practices in mathematics education.

• Games that incorporate mathematical terms help to provide concrete models and help students develop number sense.

• Lesson flow as follows: * Instruction* Practice* Problem solving* Connections

Teacher Materials

Social StudiesThe four classifications within

Social StudiesInclude:• History, • Geography, • Civics and Government, and • Economics.

Social Studies ProjectsHeritage Doll

• Heritage Doll- Students create a doll that represents their heritage. They have an opportunity to present to the class.

Timeline Project

• Students create timeline representing each year of their life.

This project provides children the concept of time, history, and that

history also tells stories of people.

Flat Stanley

Flat Stanely is a character from the story Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown.

Students make paper Flat Stanley's and begin a journal with him for a few days. Then Flat Stanley and the journal are sent to other schools and/or families where students there treat Flat Stanley as a guest and complete the journal. He travels all around the world and each time we map where he has visited. This incorporates many elements of our Sunshine State Standards.

Family SupportA strong partnership between home

and school helps students succeed!
