First Grade Curriculum Pacing Guide 2013-2014

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!! This guide contains information to assist you in sequencing lessons in the Reading & Writing Workshops. Please keep in mind: as teachers of Balanced Literacy, it is important to tailor the pacing & lesson content to the needs of the students in your class. If your students need more time, slow the pace, repeat, or revisit lessons. If your students have already mastered a skill or strategy, skip ahead, or insert those items/strategies your students need.
