Showcasing Our Success

1. In January the MEAP (Michigan Education Assessment Program) in Reading, Writing and Math was administered to all 4th grade students and Science and Social Studies was administered to all 5th grade students at Stone Elementary School.
   
2. Various reading programs used at Stone Elementary assisted in preparing our students to be successful independent readers. Kindergartens through third grades are participating in the Reading First Curriculum mandated by the state for Stone Elementary. The Accelerated Reader Program (1st-5th grades) provided our students the opportunity to read books and accumulate points through computer-generated tests. The Read-A-Loud program serviced kindergarten and first grade students. Classrooms participated in the Book It Program and all students participated in the Silent Sustained Reading for 20 minutes every day. Foster Grandparent Program and the Read Association continued to participate as volunteers with our students.
   
3. Our theme this year was patriotism. The entire school learned the Pledge of allegiance and patriotic songs. Each morning the entire school participated in the Pledge of Allegiance and sang a patriotic song. Every week a different classroom was responsible for singing a patriotic song in the office.
   
4. Classrooms were very involved in learning from the district's designed science kits. All students in 1st through 5th grades participated in the district-wide assessments in Language Arts, Social Studies and Math.
   
5. Stone Elementary staff has worked closely with parents to improve student's attendance. Teachers and Home School Aide make daily phone calls to the homes to get the students in school and on time.
