Miss Yates’ News: Oct. 2nd-6th
We started “Tier Time” this week with the 1st Graders. Tier Reading will be everyday from 9:00-9:15 a.m. and Tier Math 1:00-1:20 p.m. on Wednesdays. If Mrs. Lavin does not feel your child is quite ready she will let me know. They can always move up throughout the course of the year. We will use DIBELS, MAP, and Math Fluency scores to determine our groupings. A special thank you to all who supported Ms. Inkelaar at her benefit dinner. It was nice to see the parish come together to support one of our teachers. 
