 What is teacher doing...
While students are using the choice board I am teaching the main chunk of the
lesson to students who have been grouped based on summative and formative
assessments.

Items on the side might be

ideas for extensions to use
for choice board activities
digitally or in classroom.
 Station Ideas
Reading- work space, reading quietly, read with a buddy, phonics, PA,
fluency, technology, word work, letter names
Math- work space, technology, counting, number identification, shapes,
patterns, addition and subtraction fluency, sorting
Science/ Social studies- let the standard you are learning drive your stations.
Nearpod is great for teacher paced and student paced formative
assessments.
