Hello parents! I am so excited about having your child in my class this year- it's going to be a great one! 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 an assessment called the MAP at the beginning of the school year, in January, and the last one is given towards the end of the school year to place them in their appropriate level of Read 180. 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.

Supplies
Everything will be supplied for our classroom to learn, but we can always use additional items such as: tissues, Lysol wipes, highlighters, glue sticks, and tape.
