So there it is. As we get closer to Christmas the kids get ants in their pants. And right now it is just trying to manage through the days. We've gotten a bit done, but I get the feeling in the next week that will slowly devlolve. Right now I'm hoping that my kids showed their parents the notes i sent home about the Christmas Party. In the new year I've got to get better about communicating and mobilizing parents. It was a strange day, it started out with 5 kids missing, 25% of my class, but then over time three of those showed up, so it seemed like the standard number absent. I'm feeling confident in my students abilities for this math test on Friday. Tomorrow will be testing light, reading test and such, I will try to shore up some grades that I might be lacking. I've got through next week to figure out grades for students. I want them done by Christmas.
1. Not really a good thing, but a rather funny quote, "My butt smells like pee." Mind you this was through tears and snot that it was said (long story).
2. Alexander was able to go over a Phoneme Segmentation test, Nonsense Word fluency, and an accuracy/fluency check. Oh yeah, he also wrote a sentence (coherent mind you) during writing. AMAZING!!!!
3. Oh yeah, about Alexander, he was able to read 39 words per minute. For him, that is amazing. The state frameworks say that they should be able to read a grade level text at 40 wpm by the end of the year. For his level and current abilities, he is doing fantastic.
Thursday will be interesting.
