Daily blog #7

Today I came in at the end of Mrs. Black working with a kindergartener. He was practicing the alphabet, the letters and the sounds they make. Then, three second graders came in, and we practiced spelling and reading. As Mrs. Black read the spelling list, the student would write the word on their paper. I would write the word on a little white board, and the boys would check their spelling with mine, and correct theirs if it was incorrect.
group, we practiced spelling words, words that end in ock. Mrs. Black read the words on the list, and the children spelled them. Then, we played the game that I had made. I lined up the picture cards on the table, and the children took turns drawing from the word pile, and finding the match. I found the game to be successful, and it seemed that the students enjoyed it.
After group we went to the minimal distraction room, and worked with a student. At some points he wasn’t following the directions or not using kinds words, but Mrs. Black reminded him of the pretzels he’d receive at the end as a prize, and he listened better.
Lastly I worked with an autistic child. We played games online that had to do with matching. On the same site, we read stories, and clicked on the objects in the stories in order to make them move. We also read one of his Dora the Explorer books.
Before I left, I quickly sat and listened to one of the children in Group read a short story to me.

Madde, it sounds like the game you made up went well. That is great. Could you post the online sources/websites you used to do the matching games? I would like to learn more about those. Thank you!

For each of the vocab words, I just used www.google.com to find appropriate images. Some of the words included: clock, flock, block, and many more -ock words.
