Reading Classroom Changes

RtI Update

Last week we completed our winter reading benchmarking and this week the data was reviewed and analyzed. Beginning Tuesday, January 20th many students will be changing reading classrooms. If your child is changing rooms, a letter is being sent home with them today. Students needing more interventions will receive two letters. The changes are based on the progress and/or needs of the students. As the work becomes more difficult, there are students who need extra interventions and small group instruction to help them comprehend the new strategies being taught. Other students have made enough progress to stop receiving interventions. However, all students are receiving the same curriculum and have the same reading expectations. In each grade level, the weekly newsletters explain what will be worked on in reading and language arts and that is what you should focus on at home. Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns.

WELCOME BACK

January is Here!

I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing break. Our break started early due to the snow day on Friday, December 19th. Fortunately, the students got to enjoy a day playing in the snow; unfortunately we did miss our holiday parties. We will not be rescheduling the parties. The midyear benchmarking and other curriculum issues this week prevent us from doing so. I'm sure the students all had a wonderful holiday season filled with fun and treats and they can all look forward to our Valentine Day parties in February! Thank you for your understanding.

Also, thank you for all of the wonderful gifts and treats. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity.
