Leveled Literacy Intervention
Title 1 provides Instructional Assistants to help with small group interventions. Some assistants teach a reading program called LLI (Leveled Literacy Intervention), or Read Naturally Live and Michael Heggerty. All assistant help teach small groups for STAR Math time throughout the day. They can also have high ability math and reading groups for those students doing work above and beyond their grade level. Sometimes IAs can work one-on-one with a struggling student to help give them the push they need to be successful in their normal classroom.
We also provide students with the supplies they need at home to help continue learning during the summer. Each student receives a bag filled with a pack of crayons, scissors, pencil sharper, eraser, flash cards, glues and two pencils at the end of the school year.

Lead Teacher
I am so happy to call Vinton my second family. After graduating from Ball State in 2007 with a degree in Elementary Education, I started my career at Edgelea Elementary as a Title 1 Instructional Assistant. The following two years I worked at Murdock Elementary as a Read 180 teacher to third- and fourth-grade students. After that I moved to Earhart Elementary to be their Title 1 Lead teacher. Finally, I landed at Vinton as the Title 1 Lead teacher, and have been here for eight years.
I am married to Ryan Yuill, who is a sixth-grade STEM teacher at Sunnyside Intermediate School. We have two daughters: Harper (6 years old) who just started Kindergarten here at Vinton, and Norah (4 years old in November). We both love children and working for Lafayette School Corporation.
I look forward to many more years working for the corporation.

Read with your child(ren) for their Title 1 Monthly Reading Calendar/Log
WHAT IS THE MONTHLY READING CALENDAR/LOG?: This calendar/log will come home with students, in their binder or Parent Communication folder, at the beginning of each month. Every time you read 15-20 minutes with your child, color in the graphic for that specific month. At the end of the month, please sign this document and return it to your child's classroom teacher. Classrooms with the most forms returned will receive a special prize from Mrs. Preston. We will also be using our calendar/log for Book It! Read, and you may just receive some FREE PIZZA out of the deal! This is also a requirement of Title 1, to show that parents are doing their part at home to help their child(ren) succeed academically.
We would love to have you attend SHiP (School and Home in Partnership) meetings

Counselors Corner
Hi! My name is Mrs. Cree, and I'm the counselor at Vinton Elementary School. I have a great job - I get to work with your child and help him/her to be the best kid possible! Did you know that your child may have been in a video seen by the students of our school? One way I work to help students become their best is through short counseling education videos utilizing the great acting talent of my two schools. (Children featured had permission for photo release.) I have recently created a website where you can find these videos and more about what I can do for the students. My goal is to hear from you, so I created a quick survey for parents to get feedback on what areas of which I might need to focus. I am also writing a blog with parenting and counseling information that you may find of interest. You can find all this at http://creecounselor.weebly.com/
