Second Grade: Day 106

Today is Monday; it’s music class with Mr. G and it’s T.T. (targeted teaching).

What a soggy morning it turned out to be! I think recess is going to be indoors all day… sure enough. The kids spent the day playing games, drawing, and keeping entertained in the gym while the rain kept coming down. Isabel said she had fun with Ms. Mila and Ms. Maddie during recess.

T.T. (targeted teaching) is something new (started doing this the end of last month) that they have added to the school week. Isabel’s class spends 2 days a week with another teacher. That teacher works with specific students at their learning level. Students and teachers focus on informational text for continued success on MAP testing. Isabel said she went to Mrs. B’s second/third grade combo class for instruction. They have usually worked on math but today they worked on spelling. Isabel also said she got to sit by Ms. Mila, her best friend!

The Bible verse for this week is…

“Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” – Psalm 119:105

The Bible lesson for the week, God’s inspired Word to us, the Bible.

S.a.T. this week is free choice.
