I am so blessed to be able to work with such an amazing community! Our students are rock stars and are showing daily how we are #growingtogether. Classes are settling in to instruction and students are showing all that they know!
This month, all students at Imlay will take several assessments in their classrooms to help teachers know how to meet each child's individual needs. Each grade level conducts assessments in reading, comprehension, writing and math through out this month. Assessments may be conducted 1:1 with the teacher, in writing or on the computer! It depends on the grade level and subject. Teachers will share with parents at conferences what skills the students will be focusing on.
We do not want our "assessments" to be high anxiety or stressful for our students. Teachers will share with their class that they need to learn more about each child so we can teach them what they need to learn! Please reinforce with your child that this helps us know how to help students.
Have you followed us on social media? We have been posting photos daily of Imlay classes hard at work!
