Kindergarten Update

We ended our first round of intervention groups this week. We met several times to analyze all of the data we have collected from our progress monitoring over the past several weeks. As it turns out, we have many students misplaced in our groups. Our initial assessments used to determine grouping didn't hold true in many situations. It's very difficult to determine in the beginning weeks of school, which students are really "at risk" and which students just haven't had exposure to anything academic. Wow! We sure found out quickly. Many students who began the year recognizing zero letters now have all 26 capital and 26 lowercase mastered. I am really excited about most aspects of interventions. I really wish we didn't have to depend on other staff members to make this successful - just for the fact that groups get cancelled because of meetings and/or absences out of our control. End report...so far, so good!
