There is one student with an IEP and I know that she gets frustrated easily with
writing and reading, she may be one of the students I need to give support to when she
is reading.
She may also need support matching the sentence strips to the correct booklet page
Whats next?
The students will be continuing on their exploration of the three types of rocks and
the rock cycle in the next lesson.
