There are 14 students in the classroom, and the classroom is a inclusion classroom, in Alexander, NY.  Two of the students pull out for speech pathology and PT/OT. One of the students gets scheduled breaks with another aide, and also pulls out for PT. ]]> 2019-09-08 02:34:57 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257563 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257586 At Alexander Elementary they call their reading interventionist a reading teacher they use LLI to match the students needs and then pull out the students who need more support. LLI is in supplementary onto the students general education ELA time as well. They often call it "triple dip" when the students visit the reading teacher, they then work with their general education teacher, on similar material, and then in centers do more reinforcement, and often practice those same skills again with the special education teacher. ]]> 2019-09-08 02:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257586 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257622 2019-09-08 02:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257622 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257643 To break down the students day and amount of ELA, reading, writing, centers, and whole group that they do in a day it looks something like this, the students have the Daily 5 in the morning which will consist of the teacher opening with a teaching piece, the the students breaking off into 4 different groups for about 15 minutes a piece. In the afternoon, the students have 20 minutes of whole group and table group phonics instructions. After that they move into around 30 minutes of writing. Writing is done differently everyday, sometimes it was reviewing letters, now it is working on COPS which is to help the students remember to to create complete sentences. In total that is around 110 minutes a day.  ]]> 2019-09-08 02:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257643 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257671 The students are grouped, and their leveled readers that they take home are based off of the F&P leveling system. When the students rotate for ELA, the generally are in a mix of levels. The students who need more support, have less students in their group, and also get more rotations during centers with a teacher! ]]> 2019-09-08 02:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257671 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257699 2019-09-08 02:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257699 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257726 The teacher has a myriad of different support tools to help the students succeed. Different games for ELA to help practice Vowel recognition, and charts to help with referencing.  The students also have access to about 5, 6 iPads(one iPad is specifically for one student), on those iPads the students login into a ELA account and can play games to enhance their knowledge on CVC vocab and sight words, by trying to beat the clock, or jump on to a log as a ninja. ]]> 2019-09-08 02:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257726 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257752 This teacher has two different sections to her classroom library she has her leveled reader side which is shown in the picture below and in the pictures to the right and below. She labeled them and leveled as A, B, C, according to F& P. The students are generally told when to go grab a book from that bin, and which letter as well. The big blue shelf is always fair game. It has a variety of books, again from easy readers to complex books. Students love looking at picture books, or eye spy and reading the words. Within the big blue shelf it is organized into the genre, and also book series, like Junie B. Jones, and the Magic tree house they both have their own section. There is a label section for science books, books written by Dr. Suess. The teacher had also included a book return dropbox for the students so that she can go in and reorganize the books for them so that they are always in the correct place, and level for the students. Students also have a book basket that changes out every week. They choose three books from there correct F&P level, and they can choose three books from anywhere on the blue shelf.]]> 2019-09-08 02:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257752 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257762 Students have recently been taking weekly spelling tests at the end of every week, on Friday. They consist of about 5 to 6 words. They have also practiced spelling out sentences that they hear when the teacher reads them aloud and checking with COPS, capitalization, organization, punctuation, and spelling. The students also just took their first Unit 1 test over a period of 2 days. The teacher read aloud the short stories within the book, and the students answered the questions. The test booklet came from Wonders, so the teacher had decided that some of the questions were not appropriate, or to basic to ask so she had blacked them out with a marker. They are considering rewriting it for next year.  In First Grade, they use running records every trimester to check up on the student's progress over the course of the year. ]]> 2019-09-08 02:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257762 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257785 Some language and terminology that is being used around in the class room are phonemes, digraphs, blend, and morphed. When teaching the vowels the teacher has a hand motion and a phrase to go with each vowel, some of them are, a apple, * make a half circle around the front of your mouth* then there is the letter i, they say, "ih" like in itch and have their arm in a right angle and are pretending to itch it.]]> 2019-09-08 02:38:23 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/381257785 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/390344639 This is Wonder Works Intervention, and was used for the students in the class who needed extra support. The classroom teacher used the basic wonder for the rest of her students, and then in small groups would go over  concepts with the inclusion students using Wonder Works Intervention. This is a McGrawhill program and they have different ways to explain the lessons to the students within the book. This is used generally for ELA, for phonics instruction the teacher uses BLAST which is on the smartboard has the students emphasis their phonologically awareness as a class.  The Blast kit opens up and has phonics tiles that the students use to find phonemes and vowels within words. ]]> 2019-09-27 00:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/390344639 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/390345761 In each of these plastic sleeves the teacher fills with specific focus sections for the week, or weeks. The folders include grammar, vocabulary, sight words, spelling words, phonics, essential questions, comprehension, and comprehension strategies. It was noted that the teacher will say and include our goals for today is... or say the I can statements. They decided that as a first grade team having a few I can statements for every couple lessons was a bit overwhelming for first graders. So opting with the charts all the students key information they would have been learning about the past week would have been in the slots. ]]> 2019-09-27 00:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/390345761 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/391103418 2019-09-29 23:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/391103418 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/391103976 2019-09-30 00:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/391103976 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484093 2019-11-08 04:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484093 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484151 2019-11-08 04:15:18 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484151 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484460 2019-11-08 04:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484460 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484516 2019-11-08 04:17:21 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484516 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484560 2019-11-08 04:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408484560 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408486319 2019-11-08 04:30:08 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408486319 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408487545 2019-11-08 04:38:48 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408487545 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408487598 2019-11-08 04:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408487598 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408487659 2019-11-08 04:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408487659 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408487774 2019-11-08 04:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/408487774 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409088918 2019-11-10 01:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409088918 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409088990 2019-11-10 01:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409088990 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409089028 2019-11-10 01:54:51 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409089028 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409089185 2019-11-10 01:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409089185 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409092395 2019-11-10 02:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409092395 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409092428 2019-11-10 02:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409092428 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409093649 2019-11-10 02:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409093649 scw9 https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409094298 2019-11-10 02:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/scw9/firstgradepadlet/wish/409094298
