Going For The Gold!

Look out Sochi Winter Olympic Games! Fourth graders at Caddo Grove are "Going for the Gold" with their writing! Students began on February 19th, a 12 day focus on their Revising and Editing skills through their scheduled RTI (In School Tutoring) time. Students began their Olympic Journey by taking the released STAAR Writing test from April 2013. The scores they received on their tests were used as their Olympic "Time Trials". Those who scored a 70% or higher on their time trials got to decorate their own flag for display. Over the course of the program, students will strive for first mastering at least 70% of the content to earn them their flag. From that point on they will be competing for Bronze (80% mastery), Silver (90% mastery) and Gold (100% mastery) medals. Just like Olympic athletes our students are focused and training for their goal! Lets go Fourth Grade!!!
