- First grade journals in a small group works really well for them...they get support when needed, and I can help them with writing skills/concepts about print :)
- I love days when I don't need to meet for forty minutes-- extra prep! :)
- Literacy groups and the work planned for each one in piles works well :)
- There is no time to assess my kids individually-- ughh! :(
- HF words for first grade will be a huge challenge for some of them-- how can I teach them when we only have a 3-day week next week? hmm...maybe morning ELA reviews o__o
- Punching during lunchtime-- what to do what to do :(
- Owl prey project came out cute, and the kids were really engaged :)
- I like the "can, have, are" graphic organizers...they help reinforce these sight words and connect ideas to print :)
- Crazy afternoon when my para leaves early...glad the kids tried to work with me. The kinders were able to work with pattern blocks and pumpkin letters for a loonnnggg time while I did a lesson with the first graders...
- Playtime at the end of the day is a nice reward for the kids...wish I had more time to do it...
Biggest concerns:
- P/T conferences next week-- I don't feel prepared
- Math assessments for Gr. 1 in small groups: QQ4; Unit 3 pre-assessment; Unit 2 test; 1st quarter assessment-- poor little ones...I'll have to bring in a treat for them next Thursday.
- Still need to finish letter ID and HF weekly with Gr 1 and Kinders
