A New Sensed Need

I am starting to think of some new needs in my classroom.  I have three that I am interested in.  One is trying to find a new way to assess in contrast with my end of unit assessments that my curriculum includes.  I am finding that this type of assessment is too little too late.  I really want to make a big change on this next year.  My AR did this, but I want to look at it expanded instead of one subject, short term.

I am also really interested in supporting individual math concepts for each student as we move along.  I know that they are all at different levels of understanding, and I want to find a way to track progress and to support or allow practice of each skill.

The last one is that I feel that there is not enough self selected reading in my classroom.  I feel that I'd like to connect reading lessons to reading that kids are really interested in.  I have to figure out how to map that out to be a successful teaching program.

I am very excited to look into all of these ideas!
