We had some "old business" to finish up on Monday and then on Tuesday dove headfirst into a new book theme for literacy group (Elephant and Piggie by Mo Willems), a new theme for our afternoon group (Money!!), spring NWEA testing for a couple students, and also started individual student assessments for Project Read, the new curriculum we were trained in before the break.
We also made puppets of the characters and then read the story out loud with each student being a different character. There are so many language and social skills involved in this I thought it might take a couple weeks for them to really be fluid, but by Day 3- they had it. I was so impressed!
I hope that everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend. My own family is exhausted from spending so much time outside! Hoping for a great week in the sunshine!
