This week is ITBS testing for 3rd and 5th graders. I will be accommodating for a small group this week and will only be working with my 1st grade group at 10:45 and my 3rd & 4th grade push-in groups.
I will be out Thursday afternoon for a meeting and will be out all day Friday to attend the Georgia TESOL conference in Atlanta.
1st graders will continue working on connections this week. We will read Autumn Leaves, Fall Leaves Fall, and Fall is Not Easy to discuss text to self, text to text, and text to world connections. Connections help students think about what they already know when they read and relate new things to their background knowledge. This week, we will be reading several books related to the seasons and changes based on your child's reading level.
