This week was strange. No RTI for first grade. Lots of needy kids in fourth grade. We are focusing on one skill and one skill alone in fourth grade, long division! Long division has turned many of our fourth grader's world upside down. These kids would find long division much easier if they knew all of the multiplication facts from memory. Sadly, they do not.

 I will begin work with only two first grade students tomorrow. We will be focusing on short e. These two kiddos scored at the bottom of the class.  The pressure is on for me to get the up to grade level.
