Week 7, S1: EMS Family Newsletter
The What-to-Knows at Estacada Middle School for Families
Week 7 at EMS: October 18 to Oct 22
Taking Action For Your Students' Learning in Reading and Math
What? Beginning on Tuesday, October 19 all students will be enrolled into a course which either provides enrichment or intervention for Math or Reading. Your student will be grouped with peers (in the same grade level) who have similar strengths so we can intentionally target Reading and Math learning. We will be using Imagine Reading as well as Corrective Reading to teach lagging reading techniques as well as iReady to develop Math skills.
How? Your student's schedules are ready to be viewed in PowerSchool. Your student will receive a hard-copy schedule on Monday AND Tuesday prior to beginning this new class. In January/February your student will be measured again with the iReady Diagnostic. We will either see growth or regression based on the work we have done throughout the year to determine whether or not these interventions are functioning as we intend. Your student can also practice reading from home. View this video to see what your student will be engaging in.
