I got a phone call from Emma's kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Brylinski, a few weeks ago. I was kind of surprised to hear from her, because Emma was loving school and I figured she was doing really well. Turns out, she's doing REALLY well! Mrs. Brylinski called to let me know that they had finished all their reading testing in kindergarten and Emma is so far ahead of every other kindergartner they've had to put her in her very own Reading Mastery group! I knew Emma was a good reader, but I was surprised by the news to say the least.
So now, every morning Emma walks herself to the office and has 30 minutes of one-on-one time with Mrs. Wolfley, her Reading Mastery teacher. I chat with Mrs. Wolfley often on Tuesday mornings after I've volunteered in Carson's class, and she goes on and on about how quick and smart Emma is. This is definitely one of the advantages of living in Wyoming...there is enough funding to help not only the struggling students, but also those who are excelling. I'm thrilled at Emma's progress in reading. I worked with her a lot over the last two years, but I think she pretty much taught herself how to read by her own determination and playing games on starfall.com. She's an amazing little lady!
