- Arnav was absent today so I worked with Cindy. - Cindy chose two small books to read. It was interesting how both books were on the topics of social studies. She breezed through the first book which was about George Washington. The second book was about pilgrims and Native Americans which she struggled with. She had difficulty recognizing and reading words like 'pilgrim' and 'herbs,' - Cindy will lose focus if she feels that something is too challenging. - Then I introduced a book called //I Can Be Anything//. She didn't have a problem reading the title and made a good prediction of the story after a picture walk. - Cindy was reading with expression! Although she got stumped on a few words here and there, her fluency seemed to have improved. - The book was pretty long and did take a while for her to read. Therefore, she didn't get to finish the writing activity. We will continue in our next session.
