It's hard to believe that the end of the year is almost upon us! Where did the time go? As my students begin to transition from my class to the next it is very important to me that all of my students, but especially my students who need both more help and more of a challenge have a plan in place to insure support in the following year.
I have begun this process with one of my students who is currently about 2 grade levels above in reading and about a grade and a half above in math. I can remember back to the beginning of the year and thinking "how am I ever going to keep him challenged?" I found the answer to that by creating a clear plan with goals and topics after administrating a baseline assessment. This plan was crated and fine tuned with the input of the students parents.
Now as the end of the year approaches I have created another plan for that student to continue to challenge him in math (I'm working on the reading one). After administrating assessments, reviewing past work and taking into account the child's interest and needs I have created a plan. I am in the process of collaborating with the first grade teacher to polish it before a final meeting with the students parents this year to ensure that everyone is on the same page for next year.
