[quote=Anonymous]I have a MoCo kindergardener and only get assessments quarterly-- so yes-- they have had big jumps.  They're not assessing their reading level weekely for goodness sake.  And would you want them to?  They skip weeks of of reading instruction so they can assess each child quarterly.   I don't see how a big jump in a quarter can be anything but good.  I think you need to take a breath, check your competitive spirit and trust the system a bit.  I know getting used to the public school system is a big adjustment to preschool when you had a lot of constant feedback.

I also know that we high achieving parents tend to look for evidence that our kid is "keeping up with Susie etc."  You need to back off the teacher or you will quickly earn a reputation as a meddling parent.  This reputation will follow your child throughout their E.S.  I am a bit floored that you were compelled to ask the teacher about why your child only had five minutes in reading group.   Your job is to support, not second-guess the teacher.  It it is for exactly this type of reason that my kid's school, Wyngagte ES, doesn't permit parents to volunteer in the classroom.
