The second week brought the addition of working in our social groups. For second graders Mrs. Reece and I decided that it made sense to combine second and third graders and have me teach that group. For first graders we will be making time to work on games with Mrs. Szalay and some peers as well as working 1-1 to meet first grade needs individually. It was great to begin our data notebooks this week. We started keeping track of our attendance. We will be adding a reading goal and tracking our reading levels. Kids will also be tracking their social goals from our IEPs and learning about what they need to work on. This will give them ownership of what to work on.
This Thursday is our picture day and our curriculum night. Mrs. Reece and I will be presenting a slideshow about our program and focus. If you are interested in attending you can choose the first session and then head to your grade level for their presentation, or vice versa. We hope to see everyone there! Also, I will be out Friday afternoon. I am going to be one of the representatives for the special education cohort in the process of new teacher evaluations. We will be looking at how to best track student growth for a variety of learners as a district. This process is 3 or 4 dates throughout the year. I am excited to look at how we differentiate progress for students. I hope all of those germs have gone away for a while! Sorry to those of you who had sick little ones.
