February 15 - 19

DIBELS

Thanks for all of your hard work getting every yellow and red student assessed. If you still need help or have make-ups please try to get these done by the end of today. Remember now we can focus on remediation and we will progress monitor our red students only again by Friday, February 26. With all the snow days we haven't had as much time to focus on remediation, but now that we are back to normal hopefully, we can use the DIBELS data to group and target certain skills during small group instruction. I hope the model lessons helped you get some new ideas and I have some of the packets of activities ready in my office for check out. Please use these during your guided reading or remediation time. These activities can be used by your assistants, volunteers, or yourself. Let me know if you have questions.

Kindergarten Registration

Please be aware we will be holding Kindergarten registration in the lobby area on Thursday, February 25 and on Monday, March 1. If you have questions or parents with questions please direct them to the office. We will be offering tours of our school on both days so be prepared for visitors.

Accelerated Reading

Thanks to everyone for your support during our AR Doughnut Sale. It was a huge success and we raised $400.00. This money will be used to support our AR end of quarter celebrations, the AR store at the end of the year for students meeting their goal EVERY quarter, and most of all for our AR Festival of Fun. If our student body reaches 30,000 points we will have a day of fun for ALL students including a bounce house, various games, and yummy snacks.

Please remember to set your third quarter goals in the computer so students can monitor their own progress. Also, encourage students to record books and earn their Chick-Fil-A prizes from the W-S DASH reading program. Remind fourth and fifth graders to keep reading in order to compete in the Battle of the Books competition! We have tons of reasons and incentives to keep our students reading! Thanks for your help and support with all of these programs!
