You will be receiving several items from our class that will need to be completed and returned to me. I will be conducting your child's IEP meetings this year and will be gathering data through Curriculum Based Assessments. For our ELA class students will be given a Reading Inventory and Phonics Inventory at the beginning of the school year, another in December and the last one is given at towards the end of the school year. For Math, students will be given a series of assessments at the beginning of the school year to help me determine their strengths and weaknesses. This allows me to teach what they need. They will also be using Achieve 3000 for all subjects - ELA, Math, Social Studies. and Science.
Supplies
Everything will be supplied for our classroom to learn, but we can always use additional items such as: tissues, tape and hand sanitizer.
We will be cooking or working in our kitchens every other Friday and on occasion may need additional items.
