Mrs. Pellin's Post
December 15th - December 19th

This week I will continue progress monitoring all three grade levels. This will continue until the holiday break.

I will resume guided reading for the first graders this week. Guided reading has the students reading stories that both engage the student's interest and are appropriate for their reading level. The students will write about activites they hope to do over the holiday break.



The second graders will be reading and learning about different Christmas customs around the world. I will be assisting the second grade teachers with activities associated with these different cultures. On Thursday we will be caroling at the Fairview Retirement Home in Downers Grove.

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.
