What a great start we have gotten off to here in first grade this week! We completed our math assessments so next week we will begin with our two math groups. I am going with splitting into 2 groups so the size will be smaller and more manageable. When they are not with me, they will be in the computer lab working with Mrs. Medina, our new classroom assistant and for now, Ms. Wright, our student teacher.
Next week we will still be busy working on reading assessments. I will be pulling each child individually and finding out where we will need to start with in reading. It's a tedious and long process at times, but it provides such valuable information for organizing groups by ability and need for their reading skills.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Hopefully we will all have the chance to catch up on our sleep a little bit, especially me! Thanks again for all you do at home to provide for your child. I am loving getting to know each student!
