Parents and students,
Welcome to our blog! While I see your students and work with them on a daily basis in small groups, as an aide in the classroom, I rarely get a chance to meet and talk with parents. I hope this will be a way to change that so that you can easily keep up with what your student is doing in small groups.
I meet with three small groups each day: Red group, Purple group and Let's Talk About It. Red and Purple groups are currently practicing letter recognition. Let's Talk About It is a small group dedicated to the development of excellent oral communication skills (check out this slideshow for more information http://www.capzles.com/#/3eb999a4-630f-4779-87a1-3a7bd37b8cdb). Right now, I have 5 students in each group with a little bit of overlap in Let's Talk About It.
I am hoping that this blog can be a forum not only for me to let you know what we are working on in small groups, but also for you to have an opportunity to be involved from home.
Each week, I will make a post for each group (Red and Purple will be together for now). I will include information about what we are learning, fun activities we have done, games we have played, text your students have written, and ideas for how you can help your student succeed from home.
I hope you will feel free to comment with any ideas, questions or concerns you may have.
