WELCOME TO THE PRESCRIPTIVE INSTRUCTION LAB This web page is to keep you informed of what your child is doing in the PI Lab. I am committed to helping your child achieve success in reading, math, and writing. The students are working hard to meet their goal to be on grade level or above. I keep a folder on every child. Please feel free to make an appointment to come by and view your child's folder.
PI Lab News ----We have changed the Compass Lab over to Prescriptive Instruction. This is a new web based and more up to date program. Before they begin, students are given an assessment in Math and Reading. Students are assessed on several objectives in Math and Reading. The program then prescribes the student a lesson path according to their level. The lessons are aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. At the end of the school year, students will be assessed again to see how much growth they have made. ----Monthly "Doing Your Part" Class Winners are: October--Stephens November--McLaughlin/Murph December--Schwalm January--McLaughlin February--Stephens March--Murph ----Be sure to check out some of the educational links at the bottom of this page. You will find lots of games, printables, NC resources and much more. The log in information for the Houghton Mifflin Math Textbook link is as follows, by which grade you need: rowansk, rowans1, rowans2, rowans3, rowans4, rowans5. The password for all is gokids (case sensitive). *The first time you use it, you click on getting started on the log in, then scroll down to logging in and click the link, then follow directions. You have to do this for each grade level book. --Please practice multiplication facts at home with your child. Knowing these facts is a valuable key to their future math success. --Also, make sure your child is reading every night. Allow them to read to you and also read aloud to your child. No matter how old they are, they still enjoy being read to. Reading Questions to Check Comprehension 1. Before you begin reading have your child look at the title and cover, then make predictions of what they think the story is about. 2. Who are the characters in the story? 3. Where and when does your story take place (the setting)? 4. What is the problem in the story and how is it being solved? 5. Does the story remind you of another story, something in your life, or something in the world (making connections)? 6. Why do you think the author chose to write this book? 7. Find a word and ask your child to use context clues to find the meaning. 8. What is the genre (style of writing) of your book? --Every other Friday, my students take turns using the Lightspan program. These are reading, math, and writing related games they play on the playstation. --Students will be assessed on high frequency words. They are assessed on 500 words. They need to be able to read and spell the word and use it in a sentence. --You can click on the flashcards at the top of this page. These are some questions that we study in class.
