Lesson Topic
Hoot work from PBDA
Lesson Outline
Sam started class showing me the folder of Hoot work from PBDA. I asked her to complete the Chapter 3-4 multiple choice questions sent from her other school and after multiple attempts, she did not complete them by the end of class. We also entered her vocabulary words into Quizlet and sent home a paper on how to reach them online for practice. From what it appears, List 1 is also a spelling list and List 3 does not mention spelling. The various Quizlet "games" will practice both spelling and definitions. She played Quizlet:Scatter once on List 1 during class. After that, we returned to her room and team-read (every other paragraph) the About the Author page and I showed her how we do a quick summary at the end of every paragraph, even easy ones, as to have that as a habit for more difficult text. Homework was assigned.

Lesson Comments
As mentioned in person, her Hoot curriculum is terrible and she was reluctant VERY reluctant and evaded work the majority of class. She said she liked my class before but not now, I had comprehension questions and discussion questions as well, but today she wanted me to read them to her and I refused. She can read just fine. She will complete tomorrow in class or for homework if she refuses again. She does NOT need them read. Also…. She said at her old school when she messed up a word, the students would YELL the word out correctly and she hated it and wanted to go under a desk. In my opinion, that's poor leadership in the classroom. The teacher did not make that a safe place for her and that's why she hates reading. I explained that what she does is common and not a big deal at all, and everyone has things they are strong and not-so-strong and I feel reading is a strong point. Mistakes are no big deal, her fluency and inflection and the meaning of the passage are not hindered by her mistakes. (2-3 per page, she sees a word and substitutes for a similar word, or she reads a proper noun incorrectly, neither uncommon.)
