Lesson #: 2

EVALUATION/REFLECTION FROM LAST LESSON [What did you learn from last
weeks session? Provide details and examples. How is what you learned informing your
planning for this week? What did you learn about yourself as a teacher?]
Last week I learned that Josue cannot read as many pages of the book as I planned. The first
chapter was only 8 pages, which I thought he was capable of, but he only could finish 5 pages. I
learned that I need to plan a small read each week with an engaging activity to boost the
knowledge of what he read. This week I am going to focus on 5 pages of chapter 2 so that Josue
doesn't feel overwhlemed to finish the entire chapter.
