iReady- 40 minutes of instructional time each week. A good goal for progress is passing 1 lesson for each Math and Reading each week. When students have a growth check, that counts as 20 iReady minutes for the week.

Who is Ms. Bound?

I have lived in Colorado all of my life, and I was actually born in the same hospital where I have a son who lives and works in Denver, and my daughter is currently working on her Masters in Social Work. We've been lucky enough to travel to some amazing places that have really opened my eyes to this beautiful world we live in!
This is my 30th year of teaching, and I love it here!
