Observation Update continued...
Hello again everyone..I didn't finish my post from yesterday, had some computer issues and had to log off, but everythnig is resolved now. So as I was saying, the student that I will be working with is an ESL student whose primary language is Greek. He speak English but is not on his level yet. From what the teacher told him he reads on 4th grade level and is in 5th grade, so that is not so bad. He also has ADHD so he is considered a special needs student as well. The classroom he is needs which I observed for the day is a co-teaching classroom. There are 22 students and five are special needs and five are ESL. The teacher is wonderful. The day I observed was the day before their parent-teacher conference, so the teacher was hacing the students catch up on assigngments that were due. I didn't get a chance to do the QRI-5 on my student, whom I will refer to as Socrates becuae they were doing catch-up that day. The teacher did allow me to walk arounf the room and help the students with an essay they were writing and I had the opportunityto sit with Socrates and help him with his writing assignment.

Please update your progress by posting what you shared with class on Monday. It is cool that you could use Greek to communicate with the student. :-)
