Thank you Awesome Parents and Amazing Kids!

It was such a great shock when our secretary asked me to come to the Teacher's Lounge for a minute during lunch.  Dr. Kessler and the staff had decorated the room and bought a beautiful cake to announce that I had been selected as a finalist in the Simplot Inspirational Teacher of the Year contest. It was so unexpected. I am thrilled, grateful and honored. I adore my class this year and love being their teacher. This is truly icing on an awesome cake celebrating an amazing year! Thank you parents for your wonderful children.

Practicing for the IRI

The kids take a reading test three times per year to see how many words they gain in fluency. In the Fall they need to be able to read 67 words per minute to be proficient. By Spring, they need to be able to read 92 words per minute fluently, We practiced having one child be the reader and the other child be the proctor. They did one minute readings. The kids did great and we rocked the IRI. Way to go kids!
