Mrs. Pellin's Post
October 6th to October 10th

This week my first grade students will focus on the consonants "B" and "R". We will work to learn the consonants sounds by sorting picture cards and saying "B" and "R" chants. We will also work on the short "i" sound by blending short "i" words.

The second grade students will continue to work on guided reading and write summaries in their journals about the stories we are reading. We will also work on the Starfall Phonics computer program.

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 procedures 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.
