Reading News for December 12-16

Last week before the holiday break!  Hard to believe that after this week the students won't be back to school until 2012! 



We are doing push in next week with first grade as usual.  So, I will be meeting with Mrs. Amish's class on Monday and Tuesday.  I will also be meeting with Mrs. Sis's group on Wednesday and Thursday.  I had switched to just meeting with the 3 groups that need the extra reading time and it is working out well, because I get to read with them 2 days in a row. 

My kindergarten RtI group is progressing well, I see improvements every week with recognizing more letters and numbers.  I will meet with them as usual next week as well.

My first grade RtI group will be starting a new unit next week.  We will be working on 2 new glued sounds- an and am.  We will also add in 3 new trick words- from, or, and have.

Push in for second grade next week is a little different.  The second grade classes are doing Holidays Around the World, so we will not have our guided reading groups.  I will helping Mrs. Schultz with teaching about the Mexican Holiday Monday- Wednesday afternoon.



My second grade RtI group is starting a new unit as well.  We will be working on the vowel-consonant-e syllable.  The first vowel is long and the e is silent- cape, home, pine.  We will also be working on the exceptions to that rule as well- give, olive, active.

This is also my last week with all my students.  I am going on my maternity leave starting in January.  I have enjoyed working with the students this year so far!  I am not sure who my replacement is, but should know by the end of next week.

Happy Holidays!
