Reading Interventionist Joins Our Groups

We received exciting news about a week ago that we would be getting some more help during our intervention times!  Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!  We have had a Reading Interventionist for the last four years, but were told that we did not receive the grant this year that funds this position.  Something has obviously changed since we now have the funds to have an interventionist this year who will be working with grades K-2.  Our intervention teacher began working with students last week.  She works with the primary grades during their intervention time and also works with 1st grade students after school for tutoring.  She is able to work with one literacy group of 8 1st grade students after school on Mondays and Wednesdays & another literacy group after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  She also works with one math group of 8 1st grade students after school on Fridays.  These groups have been going for a week and the students attending seem to enjoy this.  We are very excited to have these opportunities for our students to work on the skills they struggle with in a small more focused group.
