Progress Monitoring Day!
Each Friday, I will do a short assessment with your child to monitor their learning of weekly phonics skills. This data helps me plan for the upcoming week on what skills I need to target for individuals or small groups.
Today, the kids will compare two sets to see which set has less. Again, they will go a step further to see how many less. This can be tricky so if you can find ways to do this at home, it will strengthen their understanding of this concept.
