Charming!!

Tarver School awards three different charms in Reading or Math for each quarter.

The first charm is the Exceeds.  It looks like this.
If you Meet the standards, you earn this one.
 If you have made the required benchmark growth in Math or Reading, you earn this one.
 Seventeen of my students earned one or more of these charms for their hard work.
These guys couldn't be more pleased to wear their new charms.  They can add on new charms as the school year progresses.  Way to go!!!
