Figured out some stuff ( I think). I should have gotten away from my fixation on WS for this chapter! Having all this paperwork is extremely cumbersome. I need to get it a little more open ended or online short assesments. There is no way I could do this for a whole year.
I also spent some time today going to each student and talking about what they had done and where they were going. This seemed to really motivate them as they worked well today. A lot of them said, "am I behind?" In some cases, they didn't like the answer, because they were. Most though, are moving along pretty well. Overall, I am still glad for the change, but I need to tweak it to make it more manageable. I think getting away from the individual pacing would be easier, but might take away a lot of the student excitement.
