Team Urban,
It is hard to believe that November is upon us! Speaking of November, please remember that November 2nd is the end of the first trimester and AR deadline. Most of our Oct. monthly assessment logs went home this week. Some did not, so they will go home on Monday.
I appreciate all of you who have already signed up for conferences and finding a time slot convenient for you. I have spots available on Monday, November 13 and after school on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 14-15. I am not available Thursdays or Fridays after school.
As report card season is upon us, please keep in mind that ILCS assesses on end of the year mastery. This means that we are working towards mastery by the end of third grade. Many kiddos will not meet end of the year mastery in the first trimester and could very well be a 2 in areas, as they work towards that end of year mastery of a 3. Keep in mind when looking at assessment logs, the % score is composed of several standards assessed in that test to come up with a total score. For example, a Reading Test score of 80% is made up of several reading/writing standards. Within those standards being assessed, there can be a standard or so that a student is not showing mastery even though an 80% is achieved.
I will be out of the class again on Thursday for an all day training on campus.
