Today I administered two different reading tests for twenty minute blocks of time to twenty-one students. Needless to say, I am exhausted.
My co-worker told me that first graders make a huge jump after winter break in their reading abilities. And while I haven't seen this with everyone, some of these kids have made tremendous growth - to the point where I actually don't understand how it happened. In terms of actually getting to see learning and change, first grade is the most rewarding. Though I also often doubt how much or little I have to do with it...
