Best writers

I made a wall called, Best Writers, so every time, one my kids write without mistakes and using First, Next, Then, After that, and Last I put it on the wall. They lovee it!!

El rincon de la lectura

So, I decided to start a new corner, The reading corner! I divided my book in boxes, red for english, and yellow for spanish and I got some books with Cds too. So, in our guided reading groups when I they have independent reading, they can read with the CDs and they loveeeee it! Because it is new, and they can listen and read at the same time.

Examenes

Cuando pienso en los examenes que hacen mis ni;os, medito, no comprendo muy bien porque tienen que hacer tantiiiisimos examenes:

DRA, ELD, LBD, Phonics, Math, CELA, ORG,HFW....

Y al mismo tiempo les falta un poco de cultura general, y si, voy a decir religion en las aulas.

Cada semana mis ni'os que son super peque;os tienen al menos 1 examen, cada semana. Cada dos semanas tienen 2. Cada tres semanas 3 y cada 4 semans 4 o 5. Luego al final del semestre tienen extra dos mas por la lectura. I think is just too much.

Is it work? I am not sure, because you dont know if they are showing all that they know or they are tried of taking test.
