As we continue to progress in student work stamina and the group
dynamics within the classroom, student expectations are gradually being
increased. We continue to have body breaks throughout our day but the length of
these breaks has been increased or decreased depending on the preceding
activity.
We have begun our Core Vocabulary
portion of our daily communication lessons. These lessons have been adapted to
the individual needs of the students. Some students are supported in extending
their sentences both verbally or on their communication devices, whereas other
students will be learning to use the focused core word in context. This week
while working with the core word "more" we have read stories, sang
songs, played games and have created sentences. The core word "more"
has also been presented as a sight word.
During math class, students are
participating in activities focusing on numerals from one through 10.
Presently, our literacy class has consisted of guided reading lessons and
completing sentences related to the story read. Small groups will soon be
introduced where students will either be participating in activities related to
letter-sounds or word work activities.
