February 2nd to February 6th


This week I will continue progress monitorring the students in the RTI program. I will also meet with my first and second grade reading groups. The first graders will be reading about many different kinds of fish. We will continue to do picture walks and discuss the beginning, middle and endings of the stories. Then the children will write about the events in the story. In second grade we will follow the same procedure in reading a story about a baby kangaroo and a story about penguins. In both grades we will be playing games related to their spelling words.

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.

This week I will resume progress monitorring the students in the RTI program. I will also meet with my first and second grade reading groups. The first graders will be reading about lambs and bears. We will do a picture walk and discuss the sequence of events in the story. Then the children will write about their favorite character in the story. In second grade we will follow the same procedure in reading stories about a tractor and a car. We will also make words with our letter pals.

This week I will begin working with the new RTI reading groups. Guided reading is the intervention that I will be using with my groups. The first graders will be reading about a treasure hunt. The second graders will be reading about a story that takes place in a tree house. Both groups will be writing extended responses about the stories they are reading.

This week I will continue to work on the data from the benchmark testing and help set new goals for each student in the RTI program. Once this is accomplished, I will resume progress monitoring for the students in the RTI program. I will also resume guided reading with selected students.
