In Kindergarten, we do NOT have individual goals for the students. We will have a classroom goal. The goal will be 15 points a marking period. Each child will have the opportunity to help their class meet this goal by scoring points on their test.
The children choose a book from the Accelerated Reader books that are brought to our classroom. The books are rotated among the students (weekly) until each student has read all the books. Then a new selection of A.R. books are brought to our classroom for the children to choose from.
Each week:
- On Monday, each child takes home a book in a Zip-Loc bag.
- During the week the story is read to the child (at home).
- On Thursday, the books MUST be returned to school.
- On Friday, volunteer Moms come to school to test the children on their story.
(The test usually consists of five or ten multiple-choice questions that check their comprehension.)
