Carpool Line 7:15-7:45

From around 7:15 until 7:45, I helped with the
carpool line at Trace. This entailed opening car
doors for the students, greeting the parents, and
helping the students get out of the car. I enjoyed
helping with the carpool line because I got to
interact with both the students and the parents. I
loved feeling so involved with the school.
Carpool Line 7:00-7:45
I helped with the carpool line again this week.

I helped with the carpool line again this week.
Early Morning Intervention 7:30-7:55
This week I met the three third grade students
that I will be working with during Morning
Intervention this semester. I walked down to their
classroom just before 7:30, introduced myself,
and walked with them back to the Samford
classroom. I finished the Student Interest Survey
with two of the students (students A and C).
Student A also finished the Garfield assessment.
Student C, who only comes to Morning
Intervention on Wednesdays, started the Student
Interest Survey but did not finish it. I walked the
students back to their classroom around 7:55.
Walk to School Day
This week I helped the teachers at Trace with the
Walk to School Day event. Parents dropped their
students off at a parking lot down the road from
the school, and the students walked to school
from there. The other Samford students and I
stood along the sides of the road to monitor the
students as they walked. I enjoyed participating in
this event.
Early Morning Intervention 7:30-7:55
This morning I administered the Hearing and
Recording Sounds in Words assessment with
students A and B. Student C completed the
Student Interest Survey and the Garfield
assessment. I walked the students back to their
classroom around 7:55.

Early Morning Intervention 7:30-7:55

I did an interactive read aloud with students A, B,
and C. We read the book Forest What Would You
Like? by Irene OGarden, and we each took turns
reading the pages. We counted and clapped out
the syllables for the words glistening,
caterpillars, butterflies, and squirrelishness.
I think that the students really enjoyed this story
and liked clapping out the syllables. I walked the
students back to their classroom around 7:55.
Early Morning Intervention 7:30-7:55
This morning I referred back to the book Forest
What Would You Like? by Irene OGarden and
used a Frayer model to teach them what the word
glistening means. This is one of the words that
we had clapped out the syllables for. I guided the
students in creating a definition for this word,
thinking about the characteristics of this word,
and thinking of examples and non-examples of
this word. They filled in this information on a
Frayer model worksheet. I walked the students
back to their classroom around 7:55.
Early Morning Intervention 7:30-7:55
I taught a Language Experience Approach minilesson on Forest What Would You Like? by Irene
OGarden. We revisited the story and talked about
what the forest is like in each season. I asked
them to pick one season and come up with a
sentence describing the forest during that season.
I recorded each of the 3 students sentences and
we read them out loud together and individually.
Then I had the students draw a picture depicting
the sentence that they came up with. I walked the
students back to their classroom around 7:55.
Story Time 7:30-7:55
My author study group and I did a readers
theater of Henry and Mudge and the Tall
Treehouse by Cynthia Rylant with nine 3rd grade
students.
