I recommend breaking the lessons up into shorter segments. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2078354412 2022-03-04 17:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2078354412 The videos that play the letter sounds and show the mouth formation and songs. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079537573 2022-03-06 01:55:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079537573 I wish I would have known about the on-line videos that read the KNOWLEDGE stories before I started. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079538248 2022-03-06 01:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079538248 It takes a lot of time for prep work. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079538529 2022-03-06 01:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079538529 Vocabulary words and charts are not part of the "package". They have to be made, cut, or ordered. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079538795 2022-03-06 01:58:31 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079538795 The expectation for the KNOWLEDGE workbook does NOT fit the expectation for the SKILLS workbook. KNOWLEDGE is way harder than SKILLS. I don't know if I would want to get the KNOWLEDGE workbook again. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079539729 2022-03-06 02:01:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079539729 I'm wondering if we can begin to incorporate Mystery Science with KNOWLEDGE when it fits. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079540204 2022-03-06 02:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079540204 The kids have been more interested in the "READERS" than I expected. They are decodable and friendly for "good" readers to read. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079540893 2022-03-06 02:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079540893 I do not see the growth I was expecting for Title and Special Education kids, yet. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079541304 2022-03-06 02:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079541304 I wish we would have known that the materials at the end of the lessons could be used by the Title teachers. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079541734 2022-03-06 02:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079541734 The SKILLS workbooks are really good for the most part. I like that they include stories and work to be done at home (even though it might not happen). https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079542602 2022-03-06 02:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079542602 The kids are being exposed to so many areas of the world and they love it. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079545346 2022-03-06 02:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079545346 The assessments... https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079546686 2022-03-06 02:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2079546686 Less prep than I normally do! It's all provided in the curriculum. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2080062322 2022-03-06 16:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2080062322 I am surprised by how much the kids like Knowledge. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2080062608 2022-03-06 16:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2080062608 Pre-K does not have many projects that target fine motor development (or many projects at all) until Domain 5 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2080063744 2022-03-06 16:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2080063744 The subject areas are interesting to students! https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2080063893 2022-03-06 16:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2080063893 Engaging Topics jmorrissey15 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2081714586 A lot of the units/topics that I thought were not going to be engaging actually have ended up fascinating the kids. They are way more into the knowledge topics that I expected.]]> 2022-03-07 14:09:01 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2081714586 I like how the tricky words (sight words) are taught. https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082556288 2022-03-07 21:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082556288 In some lessons, the spelling tests assess sounds and skills that have not been taught. The skills are taught several lessons after the spelling assessment. jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082714199 2022-03-07 23:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082714199 I like using the TPT lessons that are all aligned to introduce, teach, and review! A different presentation style, but very kid friendly! jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082716861 2022-03-07 23:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082716861 I appreciate the great amount of non-fiction, and the kids like it! jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082718966 2022-03-07 23:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082718966 There isn't much time for the kids to write. It's mainly writing by answering comprehension questions. I would have liked to start with more writing incorporated into the lessons. jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082721146 2022-03-07 23:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082721146 I like the frequent word skill assessments. It works well for immediate intervention groups! jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082722553 2022-03-07 23:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082722553 I like the paper copies of the stories to send home! jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082723317 2022-03-07 23:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082723317 The kids like AMPLIFY, 40 minutes a week. jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082725037 2022-03-07 23:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082725037 You have to make/find your own vocabulary cards and tricky words. I 'd have expected those to be 'basic' curriculum materials provided. jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082728594 2022-03-07 23:58:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2082728594 Report card revisions...how to assess and report data. jhenely1 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2084720890 2022-03-08 19:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2084720890 https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2084862350 Writing in third grade varies by units. Some units have very little and some units have too much.]]> 2022-03-08 21:14:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tgreen126/4rw5td4vevr1nxdt/wish/2084862350
