Updates!

Dear Parents,

I am grateful for the sweet birthday wishes on Monday from your children! Covid birthdays aren't terribly exciting, but it helps to have such kind people in your life to remember it! :)

This week's language arts lessons are still focused on doing research for our country reports as I try to create groups for the next part of our work: planning a vacation!

Though I know students are excited to go on a vacation, the group work and planning will start after students finish reporting on their countries! I am hoping to give them a template for their report tomorrow.

In math last week and this week I have assigned some Core Focus lessons with Khan Academy options to go along with them. These assignments cover Lessons 4.1-4.5 in our Proportions and Probability book. 

In order to check for understanding, I assigned a "quiz" on Khan Academy. If your child has not completed this quiz, you (and your child) should have already received an email from me.

I currently have 17/23 students who have taken the quiz, and all have done well on it! None of the grades go into the grade book, but some assessing of skills has to happen so that I know how everyone is doing.

Having just recently talked with my colleagues, 17/23 is a reasonably high participation rate! Good job class!

I have recorded a few math instructional videos that are uploaded onto google classroom as well as a "challenge" video (that isn't really a challenge if they have completed lesson 4.5.) I hope students find them entertaining!

Until next time, please feel free to send me an email if you have any questions, and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Cheers,

Mrs. Hart
