Merry Christmas from Title!

We'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!  Today our kindergarten focus groups made sight word candy canes with a few of our words we've been working so hard on!  They are super proud of their work.

Connect four with year 1 Islanders

Islanders played connect four with vowel digraphs practiced during our Road to Reading intervention.  They loved practicing their skills and competing with each other at the same time.

Kindergarten Goes Fishing!

Kindergarten focus groups went fishing for some beginning sounds.  Students had fun catching a fish and matching the picture to it's beginning sound.

Islanders Multiplication Ninjas

Islanders receiving Title math support are currently working on becoming multiplication ninjas!  They practice with their own set of flashcards, quiz each other, play multiplication games, and take timed tests to earn their way up to a black belt in multiplication.  The whole group is currently working on their yellow belts.  Go islanders!

Countdown to the first day...

Thank you to everyone who visited us at the Hot Dog Night last night.  We had a great turnout and enjoyed visiting with everyone and meeting a few new people.  Please be sure to check back here throughout the school year to stay up to date on events happening in our school as well as what's happening in Title 1.

Last Title Focus Group

We had our last focus group for the school year today.  We've had a great time this year with our Title students.  Today we celebrated with some fun games of pictionary, spoons, and sight word twister.  The students also received their bags of goodies for the summer packed with summer workbooks, fun books to read, a notebook, pencils, and other fun supplies.  Here are some students checking out their supplies.

Pizza Lunch Celebration

Our Title focus group students in grades 3-6 will be celebrating their hard work on the Spring Edperformance testing this Thursday.  Title teachers will be providing a pizza lunch for our students, we are excited to share this time with them.  Title students in grades 3-6 do not need to bring a lunch on May 22nd as we will be having our celebration during lunchtime.

First Grade is Moving Up!

Exciting things are happening in first grade focus groups!  Both first grade Road to Reading focus groups will be moving from the red level up to the orange level.  We are so proud of our Title students progress and are excited to start this new level with them.  Great job first grade!

Second grade is moving up!

Mrs. Egloff's second grade focus groups have been using the Road to Reading program during our focus time. They have worked so hard and this week have officially moved up to the yellow level!  Keep working hard!

Spring Testing Begins

Starting Monday all students in our school will be participating in our Spring Edperformance testing.  Students have been encouraged to do their best as this testing will show us what they have learned this year.  We've reminded them it's their time to really show off.  Title teachers are so excited to see what our students can accomplish.  Testing will be completed during technology times.

Fourth grade focus groups

Our two fourth grade groups met together today since Mrs. Bruursema was out for a school improvement meeting.  We had a good time reviewing some of the prefixes we've learned in REWARDS.  We played a few games of "I have, who has".  At first we just played for fun, but in the end the groups were competing to see which one could make it through all the cards first.  Everyone in the group earned RAMS pride tickets for showing great teamwork and kindness during the game.  Great job!

Third grade focus groups visit kindergarten groups

Third grade groups have been practicing reading books aloud to prepare to read to our kindergarten friends.  The kindergarten group not only enjoyed listening to the third graders read, but also read some of their books to the third graders.  Great job reading!
