Week of Oct. 26

Mmmm....this past week....Mrs. K was able to do a progress check on fluency on the students who scored low....most were reading more words per minute from reading on level.  Two are staying the same, so will have Mrs. K set up a fluency program where a parent will work with the student on a reading passage during the week with a pre and post test.

I was able to conference with every student this past week.  Three were absent due to the flu.
