As most of you know, I have been on maternity leave for the past 5 weeks. I am excited to jump into teaching again and get to know your child!
This week we will be doing reading level testing! Students completed the MAP test on Friday. Starting on Monday, students will be tested for their DRA level. This process has two parts - the first is how well your student can read the words and the second is how well they comprehend what they have read. They do this test one on one with me. With their MAP and DRA scores/levels, I will be able to clearly identify where your student is academically and where they need to go.
We are starting our Fiction I unit this week! We will be learning about character traits, setting, plot, and theme. We are finishing up Esperanza Rising and starting Wonder.
"August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a facial difference that prevented him from going to a mainstream school - until now. He's about to enter fifth grade at Beecher Prep, and if you've ever been the new kid, then you know how hard that can be. The thing is Auggie's just an ordinary kid, with an extraordinary face. But can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, despite appearances?"
