What Do The Other Kids Do While I'm Teaching a Small Group?
I See This Question All The Time. Here is the Answer:
We use the pocket to make an Alphabet book that holds all of our other work about this letter. |
- CLICK HERE for the set.
The 1st time we did this, ALL of the girls wanted to make the locket & ALL of the boys wanted to make the pocket watch, but after that 1st time, they chose a differently every time! |
Once you introduce these activities in a small group, they can do them independently at their tables. |

Did March Come in Like a Lion???
Roar Through Assessments Quickly & Easily With THE TESTABLE MOMENT:
You have heard about "The Teachable Moment," but what about "The Testable Moment?"
1. Quickly assess your students on their progress to make sure they are on target.
How???
"Chuck" your testing into small, quick sessions. That's the Testable Moment! Here is how:
~In small groups, while students are illustrating what they will be writing about, test each student on a just 3 or 4 sight words. (I used ESGI.)
~While your students are browsing books in the library, grab your iPad or laptop & click on "untested students" in ESGI and test a student or 2, or 3.Here I am with a group of 5 testing each child on the next 3 sight words that come up on their individual sight word assessment.
You can do this quickly and easily with ESGI. Start a FREE trial today and discover ESGI's new dashboard & how to save hours & hours planning, teaching, & assessing.

I won because ESGI made me glow in my classroom by helping me to target the specific skills each child needed.
How?
~I used the "flashcards" as "skill cards" and I put each child's skill cards into zipper bags to create RTI kits to take home or to use in class with an adult or a cross-age tutor.
Here is a sample of the skill cards that reflect the incorrect skills for this child. We cut them apart, put them into zipper sandwich bags, & we chose 1 skill card to work on with an adult or tutor.
