On Wednesday, the first thing that Aidan told me when he got off the bus was that he had a note for me from Mrs. M. He saw the look on my face and said "No! It's a good note! I didn't even get in trouble today!" Sure enough, here is the note I found in his backpack:
He was so thrilled with the note and himself that it is now proudly displayed on our refrigerator. I am pleased that his teacher took the time to tell us that he did well.
Yesterday he came home with yet another positive note from the teacher:
A.R., or Accelerated Reader, is a program where students read books then take computer-based quizzes. A point value is assigned to each book, based on the length and reading level, and how much of that point value a student earns depends on how many questions he/she answers correctly. The A.R. goal for first graders was 30 points; Aidan ended up with somewhere around 59. While I monitored his progress throughout the year to make sure he would easily achieve the 30 point goal, he can take sole credit for such a high score.
Aidan was so excited yesterday afternoon when he told me that Mrs. M was getting lunch from Zaxby's for him and the other student, and that they would get to eat with Mrs. M in the classroom! Let's just hope he doesn't put a fry up his nose...
And remember the STAR Reading diagnostic from last fall? Aidan brought home the spring test results and his grade equivalent score is 5.3; in other words, he reads at a level comparable to the average fifth grader after the third month of the school year. Not bad for a child just finishing up first grade!
