We have been talking a lot this week about being good citizens and about leaders. Did you know I can be a leader too? There are even leaders of our school that I can go to. Ask me who they are!

We have been talking about communities and how we are a classroom community and we're called Tiger Team. We want to be good teammates and always help each other. Our Tiger Team classroom is a safe place for us to come and learn ... and learn in our unique special ways. We're all different and we always respect those differences. we even acted out some scenarios where we can be good citizens or make a choice that would make others have a sad face.
What is this one?
We started doing math stations this week! Mrs. Maggart has an activity for each table to do while she works with us one-on-one or in small groups so she can work with me on what I need because what I need may be different than what my friend needs. We are responsible for finishing our work all by ourselves! We are figuring out skip-counting patterns, making numbers in as many ways as I can, reading math books and writing about what I learned, playing math games on the laptops, and even playing games about time. And guess what? Each thing I do is just for me! My friend may be working with a different number than me but that's okay 'cause we're all different and we celebrate that!
Next week Mrs. Maggart is going to read with me one-on-one to see where I am and what books would be best for me. While she is doing this with our Tiger Team, I will be getting to do Reading Round-up which is a lot of activities where I will be reading my books from our Tiger Team library and making words, writing about them, and even listening to different books on Walkmans and the laptops. Again, I am responsible for me and doing my work all by myself. I may make some mistakes on my spelling or punctuation but that's okay because I'm trying my best and doing it all by myself.

What independent reading should look like - thumbs up! |
