  7. Accelerated Reader • Use fall scores to determine goals and reading range • Guides students to pick books that “fit” • Research supports reading at the bottom part of your level for the most growth. As fluency, accuracy, and comprehension increase, you know it’s time to move up. • Helps teachers to monitor growth

  8. Math • Know + and – facts fluently • Move from Rocket Math to Sprints • Addition and Subtraction with regrouping • Number Bonds 12 • 5 + 7 = 12 • 7 + 5 = 12 • 12 – 5 = 7 • 12 – 7 = 5 7

  9. Homework • Reading every night • Practice math facts until they are automatic. • Learn spelling words and spelling patterns. • Skill Review Papers

  10. Study Trips • Barker Mansion • City of Portage • Guest Speakers • Be sure to get a background check early for participation in trips and other classroom events.
