Hello!

The adjustments made to the first grade schedule and the focus of that time seem like they will have the effect wanted for most of the students.  I like that we are focusing on lower skill areas even if that means a change from the normal routine.  I feel like the more repetition the better in this case.  Students will now be reading their weekly story and working on their spelling words, both in ESL and in their regular classroom.  In addition, we are really trying to hammer sight words into them.
