Small Group SI help…
Miss Rudisill will now be hosting small groups! YAY! These small groups will
be on specific math/reading topics in which students are struggling with in
Study Island. Mrs. Allport, Mrs. Hauke, and Mrs. Shoemaker will be
looking in Study Island and providing a list of names to Miss Rudisill each
week. Miss Rudisill will be sending out kmails inviting students to a small
group; the link will then show up on the students’ daily plans. (No link = no
small group that day.) A small group will be held on Wednesday at 2pm for
math, and a small group will be held on Thursday at 3pm for reading. Small
group will consist of a review lesson and some extra practice questions on the
topic. Students will also have an opportunity to ask any questions that they
may
