Friday, October 18
As for our week, our daily schedule is set and we are digging into our multiple units.
We are excited this year to welcome Mandi Hulst as our Math Interventionist. She will be using our Delta Math Screener to identify students who need a little additional help on some targeted skills. These skills are identified as essential for your child to master their foundational math skills as they move throughout the grades. We have determined that if they are lacking mastery in these specific foundational skills it can impact their achievement in middle and high school courses as well as on their ACT/SAT.

2 - Proficient (on track) - They are growing in the skill and their learning is on track for 4th grade.
1 - Progressing (growth needed) - They are consistently struggling to preform the skill on their own and this skill is an area of growth.

These skills are identified as essential for your child to master their foundational math skills as they move throughout the grades. We have determined that if they are lacking mastery in these specific foundational skills it can impact their achievement in middle and high school courses as well as on their ACT/SAT.
If your child falls into this category at some point during the school year, they will be pulled out of math for 10-15 minutes up to 2 times per week to work on a specific skill. As soon as they master the targeted skill, they will be moved out of the group.
