According to her retelling of the story, she understands what have happened in the story but her story is not organized. To help her organize her thoughts and retell the story in sequence, I will introduce her to sequencing words. Using sequencing words such as first, second, third, next, after, in the beginning, middle, and at the end will help her organize her thoughts about what she has read and then orally express using these words. The strategy that I will use to improve Ina’s writing is introducing her to punctuations. I will introduce punctuations makes, give her examples of how to use them and then I will ask her to make her own sentences using punctuation marks. Having this activity will help her see examples, practice, understand and learn punctuations herself. Another activity that she can practice with the whole class, is that I will give different students punctuation marks and different sentences in a laminated paper without punctuations. Together as a whole class, students will suggest which punctuation mark match which sentence and why. In this activity students will match a sentence with its punctuation and give reasons which will help them learn and understand how punctuations works. I will also give Ina a list of animal’s name with pictures to practice it at home. She will learn animals name, recognize how to write and spell them. Using these few strategies will help Ina to improve her reading and writing

Monitoring how Carmen is able reads sentences with past and present tense words will allow me to see if she continues to ignore the ending of verbs when adding –ing or –ed.

As students make progress in the program, they are introduced to higher level words and challenged…

    Instructional Strategies and Rigor During my observation of Ms. Perry I was impressed by her use of scaffolding with the students to ensure that all students were learning, below are a few examples of how she used instructional strategies and rigor in the classroom: Ms. Perry had the students who needed additional help with their diction worksheets to review the sound/letter cards to decide which vowel rule to use for their spelling words. Ms. Perry explained the concept clearly to the students and allowed them the opportunity to use higher order thinking to gain an understanding for the correct spelling of the word. Another way that Ms. Perry reinforced learning, was by having the students work together to find an solution to solving the…
