school closed

As a precaution, our school is closed until Tuesday because an unusually high number of students went home with fevers, sore throats and other flu symptoms.

Sometimes I wish I knew what to say to my one student whose desires to move up to a J reading level (when P is where they really ought to be) are so great but his ability is just not there. I feel like I fail him every day. He has a learning disability which seems to inhibit his ability to recall letter sounds and I just don’t know what methods I ought to be applying that I haven’t already. He also works 5 times a week with a SETTs teacher. He has moved from an F in September but he knows he is far behind and he is so worried. As am I.
