May. Some Gr. In Math all students are given an initial survey of specific skills. From the results teachers develop large and small group lessons as well as individual work. Bi-monthly chapter tests, weekly cumulative review study sheets and word problems provide continuous assessment. Such formative assessment helps students solidify and retain math skills learned throughout the school year.
Students have the opportunity to learn in small groups with specific skill lessons.
Such learning opportunities will continue the upwards trend in their scores and make them critical readers. The primary literacy team and ILT reviews test data and shares promising practices. The goal of transitional program is for every Gr. 4 student in Sept. 2001 to have reading and writing skills necessary to read grade level material and communicate their understanding in writing. The services include increased time in developing reading and writing skills.
