Hello All,
Well, I can tell it is close to spring break. I am in my second year of a loop, and it is beginning to show in my class. By the time the kids walk through the door, they are already bickering at one another. HUGH!! It is frustrating. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Also, I am doing book clubs at the beginning of 4Th quarter. If you know of any good read aloud, I would appreciate the input.
Finally, I am happy to report that my reading intervention with one of my students is a success. I am applying the neurological impress method, to help him with his fluency. It really seems to be helping him. He is much more fluent and confident in his reading! YEAH!!!

Sounds like spring is upon us. I was thinking of having my students do an activity I have done with my primary classes in the past. Pat on the back activity- each students gets a hand cut out or traces their own hand, puts their name on it and passes it around to their classmates. Classmates put a compliment or "put up" on their classmates hands. At the end of the activity, the students will have their "pat on the back" with compliments from 24+ of their classmates.
ReplyDeleteLeading up to this activity I would model positive compliments/comments and brainstorm how/some together. Students need to be ready for the project as well.
Way to go Nikki!! What is that intervention that was successful? Sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI think I need you to help with a student of mine. He is really having trouble with fluency! Can you pass me the strategy information?
