Turn to someone sitting near you and tell
them why you are here tonight!
Reading Curriculum and Data!!
Fluency and MOY data
●
69.2% out of 141 students are at or above grade level
benchmarks for fluency (Benchmark at this point of
the year is 122 words per minute)
●
70% average on the MOY Reading Benchmark
●
57.4 % scored a 70% or higher
●
69.2 % scored within the 60 - 100% range
Why is reading fluency important?
Better fluency leads to greater understanding, and
greater understanding leads to lifelong learning!
Strategies/Resources:
-
Have your child read a page aloud to you, stuffed animal
or a pet
each
night
-
Model reading fluently to your child
-
Rereading the same text actually improves fluency!
-
Song lyrics are an easy way to get reluctant readers to
practice
-
Reader’s theater
-
Read, read, read!
Taking a Closer Look...
-
Confidence is key...You may not know the answer but you need the
confidence in yourself that you can figure out the correct answer

Review Grade Level
Data.
-
Discuss most missed
questions.
-
Look at EOG
percentages for
standards.
So That We Can…
-
Be prepared to help
our kiddos succeed on
the EOGs as well as in
middle school!
Warm-Up:
Turn to someone and talk about
how you felt about math in school.
MOY Data
Grade Level Average- 64.16%
Percent Proficient-58.08%

Notice Fraction percentages grow. This means
fractions are an
extremely important part of 5th grade math curriculum

Multi-Step Fraction Problems
Example question: Two-thirds of the students
in a class are wearing blue jeans. Two-sixths of
the students who are wearing blue jeans are
also wearing red shirts. What fraction of the
students in the class are wearing blue jeans and
red shirts?
Multi-Step Multiplication Problems
Connie makes cloth cat toys. She bought 6
yards of material for $42.00 and 1 spool of
thread for $2.58. She can make 2 cat toys from
each yard of material. Connie sells each toy for
$5.00. How much profit will she make?
