week 6

This week I went in expecting to be able to meet with my small group, which is an on level reading group, but they were testing on Tuesday. So when i go in on Thursday I will me able to meet with my small group. There are about 6 students in this group and they are all reading at the third grade level.

Week 5

This week we are finishing up the book and Mrs. Kennedy wants me to work with a different small group in reading or maybe math. That would start next week.

Week 4

This week we just repeated the same activities and read more of the book.

Week 3

This week I had the students go back through the previous chapters that we have read and find words that they did not know the meaning. When we met back together on Thursday we went through all the words that they were unfamiliar with the defination and used context clues to figure out the meaning on their own. I have also had the students keep up with a character list and write down important facts about the characters, so we can decide major and minor characters when we are done with the book.

week 2

This week I started working with a small group. They are the upper reading level group in the class. We began reading the book Frindle and the students seem to really enjoy the book.
