20. Third Grade Math2011 - 2012 Goals: *To increase the number of students who pass the end of the year district assessment. *To increase the number of students who pass the MEAP math test in October 2012. Strategies: The continuous spiraling of all math concepts through daily practice, quizzes, and on tests. We used real world situations to solve problems with the help of hands-on materials. We worked in groups to practice the Common Core format for solving problems. Interventions: The focus on math vocabulary was a giant focus this year. An interactive math vocabulary wall was used so students could practice over and over on the definitions of math terms. The math consultant was used to facilitate the learning of struggling learners in small groups. Progress Monitoring: The use of pre and post test student charts were used to set goals for learning as well as a record of how well they knew a concept. The end of the year assessment scores will show us more information. Data: The data for third grade math will be coming shortly as the end of the year assessment has not been given at this time. We will also not know the scores for the MEAP math test until Feb. of 2013. Mrs. Dennis and Mrs. Santiago

21. Third Grade Reading2011 - 2012 Goals: *To increase the percentage of students reading at grade level at the end of the year. *Increase understanding of features and the structure of non-fiction selections. Strategies: We incorporated Comprehension Framework into the social studies content by reading the chapter book “Traders In Time” as well as through our text book lessons. Also, reading of non-fiction selections were increased using Making Connections and Time for Kids articles. Interventions: We switched our entire third grade schedule to allow for more time in reading and writing after the first semester. This extra time was used to focus on teaching non-fiction selections in small reading groups. Given the extra time, we focused on delivering the Comprehension Framework effectively through our anthology as well as our social studies curriculum. Progress Monitoring: In March, we used Fountas & Pinnell to determine reading levels of the bottom quartile. We informally took note as to what areas of nonfiction the students were struggling on in their reading groups. Data: We will be able to give a percentage of students who are reading at grade level after we do our testing of the students. Mrs. Dennis and Mrs. Santiago

22. Third Grade Writing2011 -2012 Goals: To increase the number of students who are writing at grade level on a personal narrativeat the end of the year. Strategies: We switched our entire schedule to allow for more writing time. This extra time was used to focus on all aspects of the writing process. Specifically, the use of lessons and ideas from Blueprint for Exceptional Writing was utilized in developing targeted skills. Interventions: The students reviewed several skills and topics that are essential for a great writing piece. The students worked in small groups as well as met individually with the teacher to conference on the assignments. Progress Monitoring: The semester writing prompt data was used to determine what areas needed to be focused on more as well as what topics to cover next. Students wrote weekly and covered many Genres: Compare/Contrast, Opinion, Personal Narrative, Research Report. Data: We will have the number of students who are writing at grade level shortly, as all of the writing samples have not been scored at this time. Mrs. Dennis and Mrs. Santiago

23. Third Grade 2012-2013 Student Successes: The success that the third grade has achieved the most this year, is the comprehension and understanding of how a non-fiction selection is set up and the many features it could contain. The students are answering more questions correctly and they now know where to find the answers in a non-fiction article instead of just guessing. The students have come a LONG way in solving math problems using the common core format. They are now purposely trying to solve it a different way so they get a chance to explain how they did it. The increased focus on vocabulary has dramatically helped the students solve these difficult problems. Looking Ahead to Next Year… Next year, the third grade team will be working extensively to continuously review student data and will be adjusting their focus on an as needed basis. The student scores as well as teacher input will direct the delivery and content area that needs to be covered the most. Mrs. Dennis and Mrs. Santiago

24. Fourth Grade Math2012 -2013 Goals: Every student is progressing toward grade level proficiency. Students should be at or have shown progress toward grade level proficiency by the end of the school year.

Data: Fall & Spring Writing Assessments scored w/ 6 point rubric focusing on Writing Traits. Grade Level Specific Writing Prompts. Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Henry and Mr. Lawson

27. Fourth Grade 2012-2013 Student Successes: Students have shown a willingness to learn through a more cohesive student centered learning initiative. While students learn they also monitor and critique their learning which allows them to focus on their needs and what is at stake. This approach has lead to growth in all of our key academic areas with more quality reading, improved writing skills, and expanded mathematical knowledge. Looking Ahead to Next Year… The Burr 4th Grade team looks forward to building upon an already stable foundation. To start the year off in the right direction we will share fall student assessment scores prior to student/parent/teacher conferences so the parents are aware of how their student is doing early on. We plan to continue to push at home reading and mathematics practice which involves the family as active participants in their students academic success. We also found student accountability through student led data to be vital to their growth and understanding and would like have the students more involved in parent/teacher conferences. In areas of academics we plan to incorporate more review or spiraling into our mathematics instruction in order to allow for deeper understanding. We will use reading as our focus in the areas of Social Studies and Science. With our transition toward Common Core we feel that our Reading, Writing, and Mathematics instruction practices will allow for a smooth transition in fourth grade, as well as, school wide. Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Henry and Mr. Lawson
