DIBELS
I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend! I'm sure after all the DIBELing last week we all needed that extra day. Thanks to everyone for your hard work and flexibility last week during our Middle of Year DIBLES benchmark assessments. This is our learning year and we had too much time during the sweep at the beginning of the year. This time we didn't have enough time. Hopefully by our third try at the end of the year we will get it right. I will be visiting your classes again on Tuesday to try and finish DIBELS make-ups. We will examine our DIBELS data at your planning meetings next week. We will also be creating some activities you can use for remediation and progress monitoring.Progress Monitoring Schedule
