Weekly Summary #7

Now that the students are progressing through the CVC short vowel words faster, I am changing the pace of my lessons. I originally thought that I would do a week on each letter, working on short 'i' next week, and so on. But, for this upcoming week I think I can get through both 'i' and 'o.' This way, we will work through the CVC words faster, and there will not be as much lag time as I believe there is now. I would also like to add in more activities with the CVC words as a whole towards the end of the lessons and more reading that is strictly focused around these words.
My general education teacher also asked me if I would like to attend the first IEP meeting for one of my students and give feedback from what I have been doing and how she is as a student. She does not yet have an IEP, so this is their first and initial meeting to discuss everything. I gave my feedback, but only finding out about the meeting a day prior, I was not able to reschedule work to accommodate going. I would have loved to gain the experience, but I am excited to hear how it went this upcoming week.
In the CSS classrooms, everyday is just a hectic experience. Something is always happening between more than one student at a time it feels like. So many different behaviors overlap and the students all have had their rough days and times. Although the class may be overwhelming at times, I sure am happy to be in there and working with the students. I even had a breakthrough with one of them, completing five work sheets and some Achieve Articles in one day that he had missed (skipped doing) previously. The teacher was definitely surprised, so Thursday ended up being a really good day for him, and for me.
