What went well?
The instruction of the LINCing routine went well. The students were engaged and easily volunteered their suggestions for reminding words and LINCing pictures. It was nice to see them making an honest effort at this lesson on vocabulary building.
What was a challenge?
It was a challenge on that particular day because my SPED population was doubled as I was asked to watch another teacher's students due to a family emergency. I was provided with an extra teaching body (a teacher assistant), which helped. Despite the change, the lesson went very well and I was able to provide inclusive instruction to an additional group that day.
What will you do next time?
Next time, I would like to be a bit creative with the assignment. I am thinking about having the students lead the lesson and I provide guidance when and where needed.
What adjustments I made?
First and foremost, we did not get through as many vocabulary words as I expected. Those words we provided a LINCing sample for will definitely be remembered. I also adjusted to the influx of SPED students. The class was lively and engaged. It was constant activity with participation on all levels, which on occasion, is not the case.
Ideas generated for issues encountered....
To involve all students I would like to "section out" LINCing table areas to student pairs/groups of 3. They can take a few minutes to work on their section, then the group will come together again to discuss and complete LINCS table together with participation and input from everyone.
