🌟 Exciting News for Our K-5 Community! 🌟
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we are thrilled to announce our new intervention program designed to support and enrich our students’ learning experiences! After careful consideration, we have chosen i-Ready Connect as our primary tool for individualized and direct instruction.
Here’s what you can expect:
🔹 Individualized Instruction: i-Ready Connect will provide tailored interventions, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive.
🔹 Engaging Math Start: Each day will kick off with Karate Math and upbeat math fact songs for the first 5 minutes of math intervention. We will also have vibrant posters displayed in classrooms showcasing multiplication facts and tracking visual progress to keep our students motivated!
🔹 Targeted Learning for High Flyers: Those excelling in math will be grouped according to their goals and needs, receiving individualized instruction that aligns with their progression and areas for growth.
🔹 Extended Intervention Time: To maximize our students' learning opportunities, we are dedicating 40 minutes for our math intervention sessions. This will allow us to begin with 5 minutes of Math Facts, followed by a comprehensive 30-minute intervention session, in line with best practices suggested by the program.
We are excited about the potential of this program to enhance our students' learning journeys and look forward to your continued support as we implement these innovative strategies!
Thank you for being a vital part of our school community!
