September Updates

This month has flown and is flying by at school. It could be that with all of the new students which means interim IEPs, hurricanes, and scheduled days off we are just plain busy.

The students have been busy utilizing Moby Max and Brain Pop Jr. on their iPads, which helps because I can track data. Speaking of data I love using my data to drive instruction and this means more meaningful instruction for my students. I am constantly having to update their individual lesson plans and I love that kind of busy.

This month we are studying community helpers, fall, apples and sports as center themes in the classroom. I am constantly making new games for the class, because I think if I am tired of looking at it then they must be tired of using it to learn. One of the newest addition is our story map which allows us to break down a story, retell and sequence the story.
Tomorrow we will read How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World.  I am so excited.
