Week Ten

We ended up fixing rainsticks on Monday, but they went along great with the charted language experience. The students put different rythmns together with a little coaching. Then we applied the rythmns by speaking together to a poem about the rain.
Annalynn and I made reading folders for the students.
Today we taught the students how to use the smart cards. (the students come to a word they don't know and then apply a strategy to read it.)
Our teacher Mrs. Christensen uses word sorts almost every day. Today we worked on blind sorts and I timed how fast a student could put them in categories.
I found out that my uncle reads to students in second grade at the same school I am at.
We have one week left. I still need to do my case study.
I am really enjoying working with elementary school students and teachers.
