ASSESSMENT

BRI (Basic Reading Inventory)/RFA (Reading First Assessment)
Students are tested every quarter for their reading fluency and reading comprehension. They are also testing on sight words for grade level. The students are given specific times to come and get tested. They only come on their assigned time. Testing period is three days, and done by grade level.

Star Reading/Star Math
Students are given goals for their reading and math level. They take tests and practice to reach their goals.

Worksheets
The students are given worksheets to practice skills. These include Main Idea, Context Clues, and Summarizing. These are given everyday as homework. We use this to help them develop the skills needed to be successful throughout their school years.

Accelerated Reading/Accelerated Math
Here, the students are also practicing their skills. Here, students can take tests and read books according to their individual level. They can take their time and go at their own pace. Accelerated math helps them to pick up their grade level. It is like having a personal tutor.

Journals/Rubrics
The students have to write journals on their daily vocabulary. They have a rubric to follow. They are also familiarized with the editing marks. It is a good read, and it helps them develop their writing skills.


Hands-On activities
We do a lot of hands ons actvities in science, social studies, and math. In science we do experiments, and in math we use manipulatives.

Tests and Quizzes
With each section, we break it down into quizzes. At the end of the quarter, we administer final exams for each subject. It does not count for a major part of the grade, but it helps us to determine if we need to reteach and who we need to tutor.
