Midyear Assessment Day is a wrap, but assessments will continue through the week. Even with a class 93% attendance rate, there are always a few random things to wrap up. The number of children per session is limited because we work one on one with each child. Thank you for helping get your children to school today! They were all rested and ready to do their best.
Overall, it was a great day and the children are showing improvement. Please make sure your child reads nightly for at least 20 minutes. I can't stress this enough. There are many possibilities:
Overall, it was a great day and the children are showing improvement. Please make sure your child reads nightly for at least 20 minutes. I can't stress this enough. There are many possibilities:
- Baggie Book- There is one book for the week. It should be read 2-3 times each night. Check the card in the bag to see what other focus there might be while working with the book.
- Library books- They should have two checked out and one must be a Reading Counts book ( blue do t on the spine). You may read to or with your children depending on the book. Your child may be able to read some of them to you. Focus on comprehension. Take time to talk about the book. Reading Counts books have a quiz and children take them at school. We expect children to read these books at least 3 times. It is common for children not to pass the quiz after a single read. Students earn points for passing quizzes and they have an opportunity to earn the quarterly Mystery Reward based on these points.
- Raz-Kids- With online access, your child can use Raz-Kids for personalized reading practice. Let me know if you need login information.
