Volunteers
This is a friendly reminder to volunteers in the classroom of the privacy policy we have here at QAE. Anything you see in the classroom is confidential. It is not appropriate to talk about children to parents of behaviors or academics you see in the room. Please be mindful of how hard it may be when perceptions are made about your child. Sometimes we think we are being helpful but it can be hurtful. I know this is the first time for most of us volunteering, and we accept that mistakes are welcome here. We are all learning and growing together! ~ Thank you for your understanding and cooperation on this very sensitive policy that is in place.
Super Avid Readers, reflecting and setting goals!
Literacy Trays!
We have finished the kindergarten curriculum in Reading Horizons! Now we are circling back on some of the harder concepts. This week we worked on digraphs. The ch, th, wh, ph, and sh sounds. These sounds can be at beginning, middle and ending of words. It is important for readers to know that these letters together make a different sound and are not sounded out in isolation. I hope friends are finding these sounds in books and showing you all of their learning.
We have introduced literacy trays as choices after word work for those who are above 50% on Reading Horizons. It is important for friends to be prating these decoding skills in many ways!
At this time I am pulling small groups supporting friends on direct specialized instruction.
