The last few weeks have been exciting as we continue to build a community and culture of learning. We know this past week was met with a few technology challenges, but with your partnership and patience we were able to still meet as a class. We ended the week on a high note with our group lunches. We were grateful to spend some quality time with our scholars and get to know them better.
Please reference The Echo for important information.
XtraMath and RAZKids emails went out last week.
Everyone should have completed the Placement Quiz by August
21st. If you have not
completed the Placement Quiz, please do so as soon as possible. We ask that your scholar log in to XtraMath 3
times a week. XtraMath is a great way to
increase math automaticity.
We ask that your scholar log in to RAZKids on a daily
basis. An assignment with a link to
RAZKids has been created in Google Classroom.
We will assign new books each Monday.
If your child reads all their assigned books, they may read other books
under the Reading Room tab in RAZKids. Please
make note of how your child is doing. If
it is apparent there is a significant struggle or if there is need for more challenging
titles, please feel free to email us.
Grading and Returned Assignment and Forms
We will be returning
student work, attendance forms, Google forms, and such. Once you see that
they have been returned know that we have documented attendance, participation,
and if the assignment was not just a practice/participation assignment then we
have graded it. Some work will have feedback yet not all work will have
feedback. To view the work that has been returned to you, go into your
student Google Classroom account, click the icon on the top left that says,
“view your work.”
This will show you
the returned work that has been recorded and checked, graded, and/or given
feedback.
