Terra Nova, Day 2

This week is Terra Nova testing!  Today our tests were two sessions of Verbal Reasoning.  Tomorrow we will have Reading and Language tests.

I have almost completed AIMS testing for fluency for the Winter Benchmark.  It will take a while to get through the entire class before reports are sent home, but we are in the process of completing this test.  Students orally read three probes to me.  Each story "probe" (selection) is a timed one-minute selection.  The goal is to make good progress in fluency (reading rate).
