Mrs. Pellin's Post

September 29th to October 3rd.

RTI has gotten off to a great start this week! I enjoyed meeting lots of eager new students. The students are excited about our new computer intervention called "I Station!" I will also continue to work with first and second grade students using the Houghton-Mifflin Intervention Strategies Program. We will work on letter recognition and letter sounds in first grade. In second grade we will focus on fluency skills.

Center Cass School District # 66 is in the process of implementing an Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) mandate, Response of Intervention (RTI). RTI is an array of procedues that can be used to determine if and how students respond to specific changes in instruction. RTI provides an improved process and instruction for school teams in designing, implementing, and educational interventions.

I am looking forward to starting the Response to Intervention (RTI) program next week. Kindergarten classes will be introduced to the "Handwriting Without Tears" intervention. We will be using sticks to learn how to construct letters. We will construct the letters while listening to a special song with the "Hokey-Pokey" melody. This will help the students to remember the construction of each letter.

First grade classes will begin working on the Houghton-Mifflin intervention strategies. We will begin playing games correlating with the "m" and "t" letter sounds.

This week we have been working on the RTI schedules for kindergarten, first and second grades. We are still preparing for the beginning of the RTI program which will start Monday, September 22nd at Elizabeth Ide.
