Day six

Well...My class is moving in the direction of more differentiation. I am getting math center/activities set up and things are progressing.

1. I started accuracy/fluency checks and two students, Calvin and Theqautiay, both had over 97% accurate reading with more than 85 words correct per minute (State frameworks say they need to read grade level text at 40 wcpm).
2. Alexander was able to name be 30 letters in one minute.
3. Alexander was also able to to finish nearly 12 addition problems by himself.
4. The look on Day'Quans face when he remembered to stretch out words to spell them, and then telling me that his dad calls him smart too.

Small victories and baby steps. Progress is basically the goal for most of mine, and we are all working towards it. Not all united, but getting there. Their feet and legs are not all that big yet, for them all steps are baby.
