This is the week of one-on-ones. This week, I had the opportunity to deal with students that require further assistance and are falling behind. I conducted small group spelling exercises, sight word practice, and even a one-on-one with a student who didn't know how to write properly inside his guided lines. I'm not going to lie, I believe this is the first day in the last seven weeks that I worked from the moment I stepped in until I left.
On a different note, I received my first farewell embrace. The students were grateful that I took the time to explain things more thoroughly and work with them on little issues that were taking up a lot of their time. You have to understand that the majority of these children do not have a strong support structure at home to help them succeed. That night, I suppose I hugged my own kids a little tighter since it was difficult to realize how much this year of quarantining had affected them. Getting this student up to grade level will require more than a few one-on-one sessions.
The goal for the next week is to nail my second lesson plan this time would be on Science. That's my favorite subject.
