Personal Narrative: My Focused Learner Alondra
On October 26th at 4:30 pm, I began to observe my focused learner Alondra at Eastchester Community Action Partnership (ECAP). As I observed Alondra, I noticed right away that she is not shy. Alondra did not hesitate to speak to me, answer my questions or share any personal information about herself. I learned that Alondra is an energetic girl who loves to dance. Her favorite songs are “100 Years” and “Let It Go” from the Disney Frozen movie. During observations Alondra even sang and danced for me demonstrating her bold personality.

Also, while reading there was an illustration of a girl eating a hamburger and French fries. The page reads, “I can eat lunch.” Alondra read it as “I can eat McDonald’s.” She made a visual connection and used the information she already knows to try and guess what the text says. Alondra loves illustrations and uses the pictures to help her

Upon having Kimorah assigned as my student and before meeting her, I learned that through prior assessments it is established that she is on a C reading level, and in the second grade.
