ISATS are Around the Corner!

I have been working with all three grades, helping the reading teachers to make sure each student is prepared and feels confident going into the ISAT tests. As I have been doing this, I have been pleased with the level of reading going on in this school. Each student combines his/her background knowledge with what he/she reads to make meaning of the text. Each one brings a unique perspective and valuable contributions to discussions about text. It is a joy to be a part of this process.
