8th grade students began Controlled Practice today. I chose to use the guided practice for our first session. Students were paired and given a science textbook. They were asked to skim the pages, write down any unfamiliar words, and then DISSECT each word. Partners were there to help students in remembering the steps if needed.

Progress was hampered due to Homecoming activities for the week of Oct. 16-20. Progress was also slow due to instructor being away at SIM conference last week, Oct. 26-27. Students continued in Control Practice today and many have met the criteria for one story and will work on the next story this Thursday. Hope to complete Controlled Practice by Friday, Nov. 3, 2017.
