just curious...

...what kind of assessment are they making you do that takes 2 hours a week and has to be one on one?! I am so sorry! What might work is to start off that time having kids do work at their seats that they have a procedure | for (a math review sheet, journal entry, writing the ending to a story...). Then when they finish, they can start moving to centers. I have heard of setting 4 stations around the room with multiple tasks in each. These are things that don't need to be changed often and allow the fast finishers to keep moving at their pace and allow the slower ones to actually complete tasks without | |
work piling up.Then set up a "menu" that shows them the different activities available and lets them choose where to go next. As they finish an activity they color in the box on the menu with that choice and then move do a different station. They can never do an activity from one station back to back. I like this because you don't have to have control of moving the kids from center to center--they do it. And it's easy to see how much work they're doing by looking at the menu. Some center ideas:
listening center
abc (phonics, spelling)
journal prompts
partner reading
file folder activities
challenge center
reading/math games
art (make cards, design mazes, follow directions for a project)
