Day 7 of training

I learned a lot about phonics today, such as cvc words, how to focus on the "ch," "sh," and "th" sounds that may confuse students, and on how to blend and segment words. My favorite part about today's training was when we went around the room verbally wrote stories using "sh" and "ch" sounds at the beginning of words. This was fun for us as adults and I know that it would be a fun way for young students to learn and practice words with these sounds. I was also very excited to finally get my school placement today, as I have been anxious to know where I will be spending the rest of the school year! Although I wish that my school were a little closer to where I live (I was placed at the school furthest from my apartment), I am very excited about meeting the students and teachers at the school. I am also happy because there are many reading buddies placed at my school who I am anxious to get to know better! I can't wait for my first visit to my school!!!
