Where we have been:
The children participated in SPARK time, in which the children and I walk/run for ten minutes each morning. They are loving the movement first thing in the morning.
The calendar and weather class routine is down pat. Ask your child to sing you the calendar song or the weather song.
I have begun to teach the children about reading to themselves. So far they can read independently for 2 minutes as a group within becoming disengaged. The goal for our classroom is for every child to read for 30 minutes at a level 18 by the end of the year.
The children were troopers as they completed a 15 word spelling assessment. I presented 5 words per day for three days. They wrote those words the best that they could. This week I will be studying their assessments to see what each child knows and what I get to teach them.
