Intervention......
Teachers have been doing intervention forever, but until recently no one mandated the time and the skills that we taught to those small groups of kids. I spent the weekend trying to decide what to do until we give the IStation test and then have specific things we have to cover during our intervention.
After a lot of thought.... we just need to read. So that is what I have been doing for the first two days of intervention. We are just reading, reading, and reading the same text over and over. After just two days I can certainly see a difference in their fluency, so mission accomplished. I'm making progress! Yesterday I tried to have the rest of the class work on map activity while I did Intervention, but that turned out to be a disaster! Today I went back to what I know.... simple math centers. I gave the kids a partner and they played addition bump and guess what everything went fine! No one needed me to help them or settle a problem, so I'm leaning towards letting the middle kids work on math centers during Intervention.
I'm very excited to be participating in the TPT BOOST sale tomorrow. It is only a one day sale and you need to use the code BOOST to get up to 28% off your purchases!
