Twenty-Fourth Day of School

I have completed the initial beginning of the year reading battery. The battery is composed of 4 tests. The beginning battery does not have a comprehension component. I have posted results for the fluency portion of the test in the classroom if parents would like to stop by and take a look. If we compare scores normed to all first grade students we would see that students scoring at 30 WPM at this point in the year would be ranked at the 75th percentile. One requirement for a 3 on the first progress report in reading is a fluency score of 30 WPM. For future academic success, 45 WPM at the 12 week mark would be desirable. For a 4 on the first progress report 80 WPM is required.

Thank you to all parents taking an active role in their child's first grade year. I can definitely tell which parents are discussing classroom activities with their children at home. Thank you to those parents who have shared pictures with us this week.

We now have 9 students completed with the 2nd math report.

There is currently a 2-way tie for first place on the star chart with a total of 6 stars each. In past years, the winning star total has usually been around 28 stars.

If a math homework paper is sent back home to be corrected, please make sure your child makes the necessary corrections and returns it to school for complete credit.
