Hello, my friends. I've been MIA because it's been a busy/sad few days. Our school was taken over by another charter school company, so about 40 staff members, including myself, are out of a job. So, we all said goodbye to the students on Friday amidst many tears.
I am taking one of my students to a baseball game next week.
And, of course, there's Anna! I will be seeing her tomorrow or the next day to talk about our yard sale on Saturday. We're going to try to make all the money this weekend...we'll see!
The event at City Tap House is on Friday. I have a BUNCH of stuff to raffle off (t-shirts, concert tickets, glassware, gym memberships, etc), and I have gotten verbal confirmation from a lot of people. Today I'm going to print fliers and post them around my neighborhood. Of course it is raining, which makes fliers difficult, but I'll do my best.
I am sad that I will not be working with all these students again. I want to keep trackof Anna and re-assess her fluency when she has finished at Benchmark. She currently reads about 50/60 words per minute, depending on the level of the material. She should be reading over 100 in fourth grade. I'll meet with her in August to assess her, so I can use her as sort of a case study.
Thank you all again for the donations and support!
