Approximately once a month your child will be taking a growth monitoring test on i-ready. I will refer to this as a "mini test" because it's a much shorter test than the original diagnostic, but it lets me know how your child is progressing. When logged into i-ready your child will typically see a red button allowing them to start or continue a lesson. This button will change to green when a growth monitoring test has been assigned to them. I would prefer that this test NOT be taken at home. Taking the test in class will allow me to get the most accurate results. As is the case this go around, there is only one mini test given at a time so your child can continue with lessons in the other subject if they are presented with this issue at home. Currently the test has been assigned only for reading and MOST of the children have completed it. If you find a green button on your child's screen, ask them to switch to math for the night.
I will do my best to alert you to a possible mini test in the future (with more NOTICE!). Thank you for all of your support and fidelity in using this program at home! There is a bulletin board in the main hallway displaying the class usage for i-ready math and reading for all grade levels. We are one of the top 1st grade classes! I hope to continue to see our bar rise and possibly even have one of our student's names as the STAR for the grade level. I have begun recognizing students at the end of the week for the number of lessons they completed. Keep up the good work!
