A couple notes about within the classroom:
1. 23/26 kids are at the end-of-the-year school goal of 70% or better on our Math SLE quiz. This goal must be reached by the end of the year (the three that didn’t meet it were less that 5% away!), and I am expecting us to meet a goal of 80% or higher!
2. Our last 50-facts quiz produced wonderful results. The class averaged 91% correct, which is up from 85% last time. So far there has been no plateau, and I hope that continues until we reach 100%! Continue playing those great math games!
3. I’ve been conducting fluency checks this week and last. Our class average is around 139 correct words per minute. The goal is to have all students above 123 by the end of the year (equivalent to a ‘3’ on the report card).
4. Khan Academy is a huge success! I have 16 students who have added me as a coach, and we have earned close to 2 million points (that means students have answered an average of 426 math problems on their free time!). If you need more information, are curious on how to set it up, or just need more help, let me know as soon as possible!
Thanks again for all the support at home – this has been a truly enjoyable class to teach.
