Hello 1A Families!
Congratulations on a successful first week of online learning! Even through the challenges we persevered and
finished our week strong. Here is to
another great week of online learning with our wonderful scholars.
Zoom
Just a reminder to have scholars in uniform, with materials at
hand and ready to learn by the start of our Zoom meeting. Additionally, the Zoom display name must
match the enrolled scholar’s name. This
is important and helps keep our classroom meeting secure and safe for all
scholars. If it does not match, exit the
waiting room, click on the meeting link again and change the display name. Admittance may not be granted if the teacher
cannot verify the student is in their class. I will send a PDF with step by step instructions.
XtraMath
This week you will be receiving log in information for
XtraMath. XtraMath is an online program
that works towards improving a student’s math fact proficiency. Math facts are the building blocks of your
children’s math education. We ask that every student log in once a day to
practice their math facts.
RAZ-Kids
Emails went out this week that contained log in information
for RAZ-Kids, our online reading program.
This is truly a great program to keep our scholars reading during
distance learning. We will assign new books
every Monday and assess reading skills with a flight check every other
week. Please contact us with any
questions.
Math Quiz
Scholars will be completing a weekly math quiz each Friday
that covers the concepts taught during the week and reviews concepts covered
the previous week. It is important that
students attend the live Zoom Session or watch the Zoom recording on Friday
before they complete the math quiz. When
students are in the classroom, we do read the directions for each problem to
the students. However, it is important
that they answer the questions on their own.
Sometimes your scholar will make mistakes. Though it may go against your instinct to do
so, please do not guide your scholar toward the correct answer. You can read the directions and the
questions, but they must work through and answer on their own. If you notice your scholar is finding a
particular math concept or skill challenging, please feel free to email Mrs.
Villalvazo and I to let us know.
