Report Cards/IXL Diagnostic/Lexia End of Trimester Progress

Report cards will be sent home this week.  If you have any questions regarding your child’s report card please feel free to email me.  In addition, check out your child's IXL Diagnostic levels. They should start in the 300s (see below). If the scores are lower, extra time is needed to fill the gaps in math before 4th grade. Also, Lexia scores for 3rd grade are 13-15. At this point, they should be getting close to or on level 14. If your child is below, extra time would be so helpful.  Thank you for all you do to support your child’s learning at home!

 Here is an example of what you need to look at:

 

Positivity Project Character Strength : Social Intelligence- You are aware of other people’s thoughts and feelings. You understand why they do things.
