@MrsKWhite_wes teaching vocabulary using LETRS training strategies. S’s break apart the syllables and discuss how many times that they see the words in their independent reading. S’s are discussing what tier the word belongs. Is the word content specific or not? #westway

Mrs Cox, our reading coach, is modeling small group interventions for our instructional assistant, Mrs. Bates. This provides another dip of small group instruction for students! #youmewe #ccpsbest

Today students started stations! Students even clapped at the end of class. We focused on small group instruction, vocabulary, digital nonfiction lessons, and S’s where introduced to morphology trees. It was a great day of learning ❤️ #TheWestWay @wescullman
