Week of September 19th - 23rd

RtI intervention groups will begin this week for 1st and 2nd grade. All students will receive core instruction with their homeroom teacher. New for this year, students will not be moving for Reading. Instead, students needing additional reading help will receive either differentiated instruction within their class or will participate in an intervention group at a time outside of the reading block. Also new for this year, 1st and 2nd grade classes will have another teacher in their room 2-4 days a week during reading. This will allow for more guided reading to occur which will be beneficial for teachers and students. Students will be able to read leveled text, in a small group, supported by a teacher.

In first grade, I am happy to be working with Mrs. Hull's class on Mondays & Tuesdays and with Miss Tracy's class on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

My first grade intervention group will participate in Leveled Literacy Instruction (LLI). Each 30 minute lesson will consist of rereading familiar books, phonics/word work, reading new books, writing about reading and letter/word work.

In 2nd grade, I am happy to be working with Mrs. Onorato's class Monday - Thursday.

My 2nd grade intervention group will participate in Wilson Fundations. Lessons will focus on phonics, vocabulary, trick word instruction, fluency, comprehension and writing.
