RTI Begins

Our first two days of the new RTI program went very well! I will be working in Mrs. Micetich's, 1st grade classroom and Mrs. Beseth's, 2nd grade classroom. I am so happy that I can work with so many new students this year. I will be focusing mainly on the Wilson Fundations Reading program. The Wilson Fundations program is a phonological/phonemic awareness, phonics and spelling program for the general education classroom.

This week in Reading we read books about Scarecrows and made an art project. We had another great week!

We had another great week together! In Math we focused on addition strategies. The children have done very well with their work this week. In Reading we worked on sight words, guided reading, spelling, and phonics games.
Next week in Math we will continue to work with addtion strategies. In Reading the 2nd graders worked hard on writing short stories with illustrations. They are very proud of their work and they were able to share their stories with each other. Next week we will be reading the story Julius. This is a funny story about a pig that acts like a person.
