Data Class

I just have to say that I am celebrating one student who has shown tremendous growth in reading this year! She started the year with zeros across the board for EasyCBM (partially because of her timid demeanor and low self confidence) and was struggling to complete any work by herself or read for fear that she will do it wrong. However as the year went on, we (myself and Jenna Zenk who sees her for speech), worked at building her self confidence and allowing her to be successful at smaller feats, which in turn helped her gain some independence! Now that the year is wrapping up she moved up from High Risk to Some Risk in EasyCBM and most importantly is a reader! She is not quite at grade level for running records, but she is close. The growth she made in academics, as well as her personal confidence and independence is awesome! Just thought I'd share one story that I consider a success as the end of the year stress is setting in! ;)

  1. I have one kid who really struggled all year in reading. He has a really hard time focusing, and I didn't think he would be ready for second grade. Then all of a sudden during this past quarter he has turned into a reader! I'll catch him reading a book inside his desk while we are working on other subjects. I never thought I would have to take a book away from him!!
