Once again the confusion continues. This week some teachers have opted for no story, while others have opted for a short story or a regular length one. This discrepency makes it difficult for groups that are combined with more than one class in the same grade level. In order to make extra time for other students, there is no longer 2 adults available for every session, and multitasking plays a big role. Fortunately, this is where my experience comes in handy. It also relies on the relationship that we have built with the students which allows them to have patience. Sometimes one group has to work independently while the other is being given directions.
The computers in the classroom definitely are benefiting our program already. The ability to have some students working independently on the computer while others are working interactively is really comingi n handy. When we had to take students next door to the computer lab it was much more of an all or nothing approach. All students needs to be supervised, so all students need to stay together. This way we are able to break off into smaller, more specifically customized groups.
