Celebrating Growth!!!!

All year, we have been working on having a growth mindset in Room 18.  We have been graphing our progress, setting personal goals and celebrating our achievements together.  As the year winds down, we have been looking at our progress from September until now, reflecting on areas we still need to work on and give an abundance of high-fives for the amount of success we have shared together.  We'd like to take a moment and celebrate some of our top "grow-ers" in three key academic areas: Reading comprehension, reading fluency and math.  This information is based upon the Star computer assessments.

For Reading Fluency, our top ten grow-ers were:

Tied for 8th place, increasing 47 correct words a minute over the course of the year:
     Natalie
     David
     Bradley

Tied for 6th place, increasing 51 correct words a minute over the course of the year:
     Gavin
     Andrew

Tied for 4th place, increasing 60 correct words a minute over the course of the year:
     Olivia
     Precious

Third place, increasing 64 correct words a minute over the course of the year:
     Benny
