Reflections from Last Week’s Lesson:

The students seemed to have a great time with my last lesson. We did some shared reading about Booker T. Washington. After an oral assessment over the book after they were done reading we enjoyed the Popsicle game. The sticks could spell out Washington along with many other words. The students really seemed to enjoy this activity and they never got bored from it. It was great because not only were they spelling out words they also hand to listen and follow the directions I spoke to them to make the next word. Overall I felt it went very well.
