"Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand." Bruce Barton
The thought of teaching reading jumps at me when I reflect on this quote. As teachers, we receive students at varying reading levels. We take the stdudents as they are and do our very best to provide opportunities to reach their highest learning level. We very well can not give the student a "token"
to read well, we can take the student from where they are to where they can be. We will develop on the skills that the student has to reach reading goal.
During this reading session, I was able to conduct some assessments with Andrew. It was good to know that he maintained his reading accuracy and fluency. We will continue with other assessments on the next tutor session.
I look forward to this semester's work load. I realize that the load will be heavy but I think we all can work at this and do our best. Just as the quote reflects, we will work and develop what we have to reach our goal. We will come out successful!

The work load this semester will indeed be heavy. I think ED644 will be the most rewarding because we will all see improvement with our reading students so the stress of the course will be validated.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! We just need to diligent in our work with our students and we will all see their progress by the end of the semester. We need to stick together:)
ReplyDeleteBreathe in; and exhale. The hard work, time, effort, and passion to lead our students to be successful readers, writers, and speakers will be our trophy in the end. More confidence in my situation with my student comes from knowing I have you all to turn to.
