Take Your Time!

4th Grade- Miraculously 2 of the groups are back on the same story this week.  This makes it easier when there are multiple groups in the same room (as kids tend to get distracted easily).  This means both groups are working on the same spelling, vocabulary, and story.  I hope that it stays this way for some time, this way we will be able to get more done. 

The 4th grade student that has been coming for extra time during recess four times a week is showing improvement.  Although his handwriting is horendous still,  he has been doing the bulk of his homework at home ::gasp::  I believe he struggles with completing assignments not for lack of total skills, but for lack of the ability to work at the required pace.  He simply works at his own speed which is unfortunately something that the school day often doesn't allow for, and the consequence is that he has to finish up classwork at home in addition to homework assignments.  Despite this, he is still a joy to have in class.
