Today, I worked with Mia and Macy again, like usual, then I continued working with flooding groups. This week, I organized more of the site-words, and Shari and I decided that since Macy has done such a good job and has made such progress, we would let her be finished with her site-words when she finished this group of cards. In doing this, we will still bring her in once ever two or three weeks to make sure her progress is still continuing and that she is still retaining the words.

Lately, I have been going alot of work with Mia and Macy, as well as groups for flooding. So Today, Shari let me go down into the elementary so I could get some more one-on-one "interaction" with the kids. First, I sat in on the first grade. They were taking a spelling quiz, so I couldn't do much work with them. Afterwords, I helped Mrs. Hussey grade the quizes. I also spent some time in Mrs. James' third grade. They were doing a vocabulary activity. Mrs. James would write a word on the board, and the kids would have to repeat that word. I enjoyed watching the children sound out each letter and recognize the word. It was good having a little change from the flooding groups that I do daily.

Today I worked with Mia and Macy, as well as discussing the site-words with Shari. We decided that after the girls have completed thier list of words, we are going to give them about 2-3 weeks off, then we are going to bring them back in, and see what they remember. We want to see what they process and how much of the information they have retained. After talking to Shari about this, I continued to work with the grouping data of the middle school kids

Well, I didn't get the privledge of sitting in on the PLC today, so I guess I'll have to wait for next weeks. I finihed grouping the data for flooding groups and also did the site-word activities with Mia and Macy. I then used the extra 15 min of the hour to finish up some homework from my absences.

Today I worked on grouping some of the flooding groups again, as well as working with Mia and Macy. I finished the third vocabulary list for Macy, and started on the third one for Mia. Sitting in on the PLC last week was very interesting to me. I realized that the teachers and Mr. Finley have a very important connection and they have questions to think about every week. I realized that they have a "purpose" for teaching the materials they teach. Hopefully I will be able to listen in on another PLC tomorrow.
