Improvement

Friday is testing day.  This morning I administered a reading test to a 4th grade group..and they did awesome.  The open ended question portion is always a little tricky (so I try not to look), but there sentence writing skills are improving on a weekly basis.  Their ability to comprehend the material is also improving, evident by there near perfect or even perfect multiple choice answers. 

We practiced the spelling words one more time on the white board.  The kids really like being able to write on the board (perhaps its the colorful markers).  100% for all students.  It's nice to see as the week goes how the number of incorrect words decreases.  I really hope the results translate back to class, it's always nice to end the week with some awesome grades for the Friday folder (which like its name suggests, goes home to parents weekly with grades and completed assignments).
