Should I read to my child?

Absolutely!  Even in 4th grade, kids love to be read to!  You can even take 
turns reading. Let your child read a page outloud to you and then you read a
page outloud to him/her! Don't forget to ask questions while you're reading!

Should I be worried if I see a 2 on a paper?

If you see an occasional 2, don't worry.  It just means that your child 
needed a little extra practice on that particular skill. If you see many
papers come home with a 2 on them, please schedule a conference with me.

What is AIMSweb?

AIMSweb is a research based, data-tracking tool that is accessed online which 
we will be using at Middle Creek YR Elementary to inform us of your child�s
academic progress. Through the use of AIMSweb assessments and data capture
tools, we will be able to better understand what your child is learning;
therefore we will be able to more accurately instruct your child on their
level. The assessments can be given in both English and Spanish, and take
only a few minutes of the teachers� time to complete. AIMSweb will be
extremely helpful for students of ALL ability levels as we strive to
differentiate instruction throughout our classrooms.
