"Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children."
-Charles R. Swindoll
K.T. did a whole lot of writing today. The writing consisted of completing the three sentence summary worksheet which she was able to expand in writing more sentences. The second activity was to create a version of her favorite poem titled, "What is Pink?" Her poem was also quite lengthy. The final writing assignment was the session journal for today. Aside from doing three writing activities, K.T. also read two books, one poem, and completed her word list. I don't know where she gets all that energy. I think I need some energy booster:) I don't want to get too far ahead of my expectations and goals. However, I'm just imagining the sense of accomplishment we will all feel when we can finally call ourselves Reading Specialists. I wish us all the best of luck as we are preparing for the Praxis II exam, continuing with our busy days at work, and doing the best we can to help our students improve in reading.

That amount of work sounds mind-boggling! I wish my student could accomplish as much. That's a great sign that K.T. is becoming a more confident and invested reader and writer. Great job, Annette and K.!
ReplyDeleteI concur with Christine that your student's accomplishment is mind-boggling! I wish I could say the same of my student with each session, although today's was a great one, too! It just makes me feel so good, as it must do you, whenever our sessions turned out as planned. Good job, Annette!
ReplyDeleteWow! That's awesome. Your student puts us all in our place! Sounds good that she is expanding her writing. Let the creativity flow, and she'll blossom. Keep up the good work.
