we are growing!

I just met with my TFA coach to talk about guided reading and strategize about how I can help my kids move up. I was excited to share with her that only five kids are still reading at an A-level and that everyone else is above. I was confused when she seemed more excited than I was. Then, she calculated their growth (don't judge, sometimes data is good). According to her spreadsheet, my kids have grown .98 years in reading so far. That means that depending on our momentum for the rest of the year, we could be on track to grow 1.5 years and meet our goal!

Don't get me wrong, only two of them are on grade level and we still have a long way to go, but today I'm just excited that, at the very least, we have grown one year's worth.
