First day back at Colgate. It was Fancy Day: no wonder the kids looked extra grown up ;)
Today I was able to square away accommodations paperwork AND assist some students with their learning, particularly my new 5th grade Science push-in (2 students) at Deep Creek and the 2nd grade Friday group at Colgate.
Reflections: now that I am more aware of the need to elicit student talk, I need to re-examine ways to make the delivery more efficient. I clearly "ran over" time!! I need a more effective/helpful modeling strategy that can motivate students tentative about recording their responses. As an initial step, perhaps I need to have them interpret and move some manipulatives...reading first.
Also, spending time with three students whose progress reports I already drafted has enabled me to revise the descriptions slightly. Getting to know the students!!
