[MOSAIC] forward from Gary

[Phyllis Johnson]

We use this also.  I give grade leveled text for the kids to read and test
on a couple of times each week.  I take running records on grade level
passages and take that as grades.  I use their home reading logs as one
grade for the nine weeks.  I usually have 25 or so grades from doing this.
PS some teachers also take an average of the kids AR grades which I don't
agree with
