DAILY CLASS STRUCTURE
The daily routine will be fairly similar each day. This will help make transitions smooth. The structure of each 60-minute class will be as follows:

1. 10-Minute Warm Up: Students will be expected to be ready to begin class on time. As soon as you walk in there will be a 10-minute warm up. 
2. 15-Minute Mini-Lesson: The teachers will introduce the material as well as the instructions for individual or group work. 
3. 20 Minutes of Independent or GroupWork: During this period, students are expected to work individually or in groups on the assignment given to them. This may include reading, watching videos, or working a group project. This work will also include answering questions or problem-solving either independently or in groups. 
4. 10-Minute Debrief: As a class, we will all re-group at this time to discuss the main points of the activity and to assess if we have met our learning targets for the day.
5. 5-Minute Reflection: Though the activity may vary, the act of reflecting will always occur at the end of the class. Students may be asked to simply give a Fist-to-Five on their understanding of the material, answer questions in a Ticket-Out-the-Door.
