I loved teaching 3rd grade because you could see the growth each child made at the end of the year. Now without a Pre-test, it is somewhat difficult to determine.<br><br>I am enjoying your blog!

We were very pleased with our results after the first year. 83% of the kids scored a 3 or 4 in both reading and math. Of course, to me, the growth is the most important. My class had an average of 7 points growth, with several of them showing 12 and 13 points of growth. I am even more proud of the learning that went on throughout the year and the motivation the program produced. The kids grew in self-confidence and problem solving abilities, which I value so much more than a one-day test score, as I'm sure you do too.<br><br>Thanks so much for reading my blog! I am hoping to continue to document our second year together as I loop with my kids to 5th grade. Best of luck to you and Bearfield Primary School this year!<br>KimKim Collazohttp://kcollazo.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.com
