In the Classroom

I have been observing in a fifth grade classroom in Hurlock Elementary School. This has been a very educational and interesting experience. One of the things that I love and plan to implement at my own school is reading enrichment. Three afternoons per week students switch classrooms. They go to an enrichment group where they work on the specific reading skills they need to practice. I have been in Mrs. Rickwood's classroom, where her students are working on decoding multi-syllabic words. Mrs. Rickwood helped create the curriculum she is using, and it is great! I have really learned a lot and enjoyed watching her teach these phonics lessons!
