Monday, August 25
August 24, 2008I will be out of the class this morning. Willard Intermediate is involved with the Missouri Reading Intiative and I will out of the classroom several times this school year in the mornings for the sessions. We had one meeting before school started and I must say that I am excited about what we’re going to learn this year! This year the MRI training focuses on reading. This year we are all teaching reading during iTime. Don’t those two sentences look good together? We will be able to implement immediately everything that is presented in the MRI sessions.
The kids will be taking 2 different kinds of spelling tests today, but they’re not really tests. I’m just using them to introduce the words that I expect the kids to spell and understand. They are allowed to use dictionaries and parents as needed. The tests are to be completed by the time they get to class Tuesday the 26th. I will not collect them at all on Monday.
