Folders and Data Sheets
If you have not done so already, please bring me your literacy folders, math cards and data sheets. I will work as hard as I can to get them back to you as quickly as possible. I realize with possible retention letters going home you may need a folder for a conference so just let me know.
DIBELS
Even though we missed several instructional days last week, we are still going to stick with the same progress monitoring schedule that I gave you in your data planning meeting. You should be prepared to progress monitor both your red and yellow students by the end of the week. Remember you must look at the student's individual score for each assessment to determine if they need to be progress monitored. If you have questions let me know.
The FCRR activity packets I discussed with you are almost ready for check out. They will be housed in a crate in my office and you can check out one at a time for now until we build up the collection a little more.
I am enjoying visiting your classrooms. Thanks for sharing your students with me and I look forward to watching them grow and progress the remainder of the year.
AR Update
This is just a reminder that we will have another AR doughnut sale on Thursday, February 11 during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. Please share this information with your students and encourage them to bring 50 cents for one or $5.00 for a whole box.
Winston-Salem DASH Reading Program
Remember to send home the parent letters if you have not already so we can communicate the expectations to everyone. This program is open to second through fifth graders. Please give each student a blue reading log to record their reading and make sure they write their name and the teacher's name on the paper. When they have achieved their first goal you can turn those sheets into me and I will give you their prizes. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks for your help and support with this incentive program.
Read To Me
By Jane Yolen
Read to me riddles and read to me rhymes,
Read to me stories of magical times.
Read to me tales about castles and kings.
Read to me stories of fabulous things.
Read to me pirates and read to me knights,
Read to me dragons and dragon-book fights.
Read to me spaceships and cowboys and then,
When you are finished -- please read them again.
