I've been slacking on the blogging issue, but I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. I've been so tired since I started back to school. Any other teachers dragging right now?
So I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching to show you a glimpse of my week.
Last weekend, I got to meet up with some of my favorite blogging friends! Tonya from Tonya's Treats for Teachers is on the left and just moved to Hawaii and lives right near me. Courtney from Teaching in Paradise is next and her school is right near Target. Here in Hawaii that's a BIG deal! I'm next. And then sweet Sarah from Smiling in Second Grade was here visiting for vacation and got to come meet up with us. So fun!
My students have been reviewing beginning sounds last week. Come check out my post {here} on A Special Sparkle about how I did an easy accommodation for one of my struggling students.
We also worked on counting on from numbers other than 1. Look for this to be added to my TpT store in the near future!
At our Wednesday faculty meeting, we all looked at our students reading level and made a visual chart of where they fell on the Tier Level. Here's my first grade students based upon their F&P level from the end of kindergarten year. We also wrote where we want our students to be by the end of this year if they make a year's worth of growth. I have 3 preA students who need to be a level D by the end of the year and 2 level B students who need to be a level G. I have my work cut out for me!
I'm super excited about the big sale about to start on Teachers Pay Teachers. My wishlist is FULL and I need stuff for my classroom! My store {here} will be 20% off so you can get 28% off if you use code BTS13 at check out.
I love how you all manage to meet up! I'm in New Zealand and only know of one other blogger from NZ! It's so much fun getting to know everyone around the world though! Teaching in Hawaii must be amazing!

I know your pain about getting those kids to move along so much!! I don't teach SpED, but I do have MOST of my class reading at least 3 years below grade level. It's a hard job, but their progress makes it worth it!!
