B-412 Information
From Ms. Clock, December 2024
Hello B-412 families! What an amazing month of growing and learning we had in November. The students have been incredibly busy. The students have become stronger in so many ways. We now have small group teacher time for each student each day (just as we had before), but we’ve been able to level up our INDEPENDENT work time 💪🏽. While the teachers are meeting with 6 students for instruction, 6 students are working independently on ELA, math, social studies, science, etc. We are so proud of how the B-412 students continue to try new things, and support each other along the way! 😊
The B-412 students are shining in every single day in so many ways! 🌟 We are working diligently on our reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension as well as working on answering questions about reading putting our thoughts into complete sentences. Vocabulary acquisition, grammar, and alphabetical order are also skills we are actively working on (and the students are enthusiastic, too). In math, we are still reviewing our multi-digit addition and subtraction with regrouping, but we’ve taken a big jump into multiplication. Students are able to talk about multiplication by referring to the number of items in a group and the number of groups, They’re also able to explain why multiplication tables represent “skip counting”. In addition to these skills, our choral counts, number talks, and word problems are keeping our math brains active! Way to go, B-412! You are amazing!
