Lesson Topic
I'm Thinking Discussions, Pre-Assessments & Word Ladders
Lesson Outline
Today I observed Maya for 30 minutes with Lynne. She gave me a lot of excellent suggestions for working with Maya.
Maya and I came back to her room and used the balloon to do "I'm thinking..." categorizations and conversations. From there we played the game with word families, thinking about words that rhyme. Then we went to the white board and created a word ladder with the -ab ending. Maya seemed to enjoy this.
Maya read the next 41 Dolch Sight Words (1st Grade) with 100% accuracy.
I completed the last running record J with Maya. I will instruct her with level J and K texts.
I feel like have gathered enough pre-assessment data to begin more formal instruction. I look forward to working with Maya on reading, word work and writing. Most of our writing will begin with response to texts read together or picture prompts.
