Dear 5th grade parents,
In our 5th grade schedule, we have an RTI time
built in. RTI means Response to Intervention.
This means, kids working on the skills that they need to work on. It is a great concept where kids get extra
time in the areas they need the most. Up
to this point, we have shared the kids between the three teachers. Each day of the cycle they were with a
different teacher working on different skills.
For the next couple of months, our RTI time is becoming more
intense. One group of kids will be
staying in my RTI (READING) each day. We
chose these kids using their FAST test scores.
Anyone who scored below the required score, and those who were close to
this score, will be with me. We will be
using 20 minutes each day on intense reading instruction. After the next FAST test, we will reevaluate and
make a decision on who is going where for RTI.
If you have any questions, give me a call, or I can talk to you about it
next week at conferences. Remember, my
conferences are on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th from 4-7,
due to my upcoming surgery.
Sincerely,
Kendra Haugen
