It was a bit nerve wrecking to have one of my peers to come into the classroom to observe me while I worked with my focus student since it isn't the norm. We often have time to reflect amongst ourselves about our days and how things with our inquiry project but it was definitely different having them witness it with their own eyes. However we are very respectful of one another and we realize that we all just want to help each other become the best educators! It so happened that my focus student did very well during our time together on this particular day during shared reading time. Yet, I shared with my peer privately that there are days when she doesn't seem to have any problems reading but then there are others where she struggles. I appreciate the suggestions of using flash cards and sound games to help my focus student strengthen her phonemic awareness. Using interactive games and flash cards would be different techniques that I believe would really capture the student's attention and maintain her engagement. There is a traditional approach in the classroom where technology is not implemented frequently aside from the listening center.
