LAS Links is finished!

After six long weeks, LAS Links testing is complete! I am so happy to be done with that for this school year. Now to turn my attention toward ISTEP and IREAD.

For now, I am working on targeted small group intervention for my most struggling students. First grade is working on hearing and writing sounds, as well as reading our own writing with accuracy and fluency. Second grade is focusing on sight words and spelling. After ISTEP, fourth and fifth grade will be working on reading fiction and non-fiction, comprehension, and vocabulary.

Lego Stories

These Lego personal narratives were created by my 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ENL students. This was our first attempt at making digital presentations on our iPads. Students brainstormed ideas, wrote their story, edited and revised, created a storyboard showing each scene, drew backgrounds, constructed buildings, vehicles and other props, took pictures of their scenes, and finally narrated their whole project. We created our final projects on the VoiceThread app.

I created a Pinterest board with all of our stories. Check it out at: http://www.pinterest.com/saragalbreath/lego-stories/
