Today I did my first lesson, which involved playing a form of Bingo
using the sight words from Mrs. Stedefords class. The group I led in
this activity consisted of pretty much the very average students. They
performed very well doing this activity, enjoying the use of a fun game
and food to reinforce important sight words. In addition to doing this
game, I was again asked by the same first grade teacher (whose name
still escapes me) to do additional literacy reinforcement out in the
hallway. This time I was asked to help them read books they had
checked out at the library. I worked with a number of students, a
couple with notable reading disabilities. Towards the end of the day, I
was also asked to listen to some enrichment students read a Junie B.
Jones novel out loud. They needed very little assistance, but one in a
while I would help them sound out an unusual word.

Today I executed my second lesson, which involved working with Mrs.
Stedefords students in pairs as they created puzzles of 10-12 pieces.
These puzzles had the class set of sight words written on the backs,
and so pairs of students would earn their puzzle pieces to complete a
given picture by reading the words aloud. In addition, I also helped
students from the both Mrs. Stedefords class a well as her co-teacher
in reading the short story for the week, which included some new,
robust vocabulary words.

Today was almost exclusively observations. I observed a third grade
classroom as they did both language arts and math lessons, as well as
worked with Mrs. Stedefords class for one last, brief time. I hope to be
able to come back in the Spring and work with her again.
