Thing 12

I decided to not create a quiz since I just created a copyright quiz when I completed another thing.  I created a forum to gather information for an event that I am spearheading with the help of a few other.  The idea is the same, use Google Form to question and gather information and dump responses into one neat and friendly place.  I love using forums with my staff, church and friends to get information quickly.

Rubistar

This rubric will be a great tool for me to use in my Kindergarten classroom to see where children are with their reading development but also to use with parents at parent teacher conferences to show them here their child is and where they will journey to throughout Kindergarten as a reader.  Parents often ask for more visual information to better understand the expectations of child.  Placing rubrics on my classroom website this year is a goal of mine to hep better support parents and their understanding of curriculum expectations throughout the year.  

We use to use Pinnacle but since it is summer I am not able to show the program with students and how it tracks their data.  We are moving to a new system in the fall that is suppose to "talk" better to the system the ISD uses and will be more user friendly for staff and administration to track student data and analyze students as a whole.
