Third and Fourth period reading RtI is finishing up with the "Rewards" program we began at the beginning of the trimester. Within the last six weeks the students have learned many new strategies to improve their reading fluency, which in return, improves reading comprehension. Every week students have taken fluency tests and every week scores have improved. After the last lesson, we will return to work from the Inside as well as the Bridges to Literature series and apply the new strategies they have learned.

In second period Math, we have finished Chapter 5 of the Mathematics Course 2 book. This Chap included working with integers. Beginning on Monday, we will start our unit on fractions.
