We got our TAKS results back on Monday and overall I was very pleased with how my classes did. Overall I had 92% pass the Reading portion of the test. I had a total of 5 student not meet standards out of 58 kids. As a grade level though we were only at 80% which I was very shocked about. I really think we should have been higher. However, our math scores were horrible, so bad I am not even sharing them. I am just so glad that I am not a math teacher at this point because I am pretty sure their butts are going to be on the line.
I wonder if I could have had 100% pass the TAKS had I been with them at least this entire semester. I really only had 3 weeks with them before the test. I have already decided that for next year I want to be at at least 95% pass. What are some strategies that you use with your kids on their reading tests?
Also, be on the lookout for some picture of my room. I have got a lot done this week and am loving how it is turning out!!!
