Another Snow Week?

Yesterday, Heather and I went our class in the morning rather than in the afternoon like we normally do. We were afraid that the snow might start earlier than they had thought and we didn’t want to school to be dismissed early and not have another day of not going to our school. I was glad that we were able to experience their morning routine with them. We were able to experience their reading time, as well as vocabulary practice and their spelling pre-test (which I really liked how she did this process). They take a test on 10 words, what they get correct they don’t need to take a test over the ones they got correct just the ones they had missed. For the number they got correct they had to pick that many from a new list of words. I feel this is an awesome way to test the students with spelling, why make them keep writing the same words if they already got correct? Allow them to expand their spelling vocabulary, don’t hold them back.
We are thankful that our teacher is being so flexible with us due to the weather situations that we are facing, but when you’re a teacher its part of the job description I guess to be flexible. We were just glad to get back yesterday to see the kids once again before they forgot who we were and that we were able to touch base with our teacher again about what are game plan will be.
