This week features a site called IL Digital Library. This includes both ELA and Math practice. Students receive a score immediately after submitting their response, and then have the option of trying the problem again.

Reinforcing Reading Responses at Home

On my website, click Superhero Resources - Reading and scroll down to the second section,

READING RESPONSE CHOICE BOARD. Listed here are various online activities your child can do at home to practice responding to their book.

Making Smart Media Choices

During the LRC this week, Mrs. Handlon discussed ways students can keep trap of their screen time by tracking the following:

What? When? How Much?

Please ask your child about the choices they're making when it comes to spending time on various types of media, and if necessary, help them brainstorm ways to make healthier choices.

Badging at Home!

Students can work on earning their badges at home by going to

Google Classroom - Mrs. Germanowski's Class ~ X-Block: Fridays

IXL is now linked to MAP scores!

IXL - Did you know that IXl has created an IXL Skill Plan for NWEA® MAP™ Growth? Basically, it is a list of skills that students at different RIT Scores should be working on to maximize their MAP growth. The students were shown how to access this during X-Block. I've also attached a PDF that has a list categorized by RIT score.

Google Classroom

Students are given the class codes so they can join my classes. Outside of the school day, they can sign into their Google account, and have access to any of the classes and assignments. Parents will not be able to access my Google Classroom assignments since they don't have a school account.

Students can use the Clever dashboard link on their bookmark to login to:

-BrainPop

-Math Book

-TCI (Science book)

-Typing Club

-Seesaw

(and a few more tools as well).

Does your child need motivation to read at home?

Try Destiny Discover! Students bookmarked some titles they are interested in reading this week in the LRC with Mrs. Handlon. You can also find this link by clicking on Superhero Resources from the menu above ~ Reading or on the LRC website through the Student Portal.

Change of After School Plans/Early Pick-Up

The days are very busy, so I don't always have time to check my email until after school. If there is a change in your child's after school routine, please email or call Mrs. Conradi (kconradi@d64.org).

Reading My Newsletter

Being organized is a key to being successful. Each weekend, please encourage your child to sit with you and read my newsletter together. It may be helpful to have a calendar handy so you can help your child plan out the following week. I know kids are very busy outside of school, so this is a great way to help them stay on top of assignments.

Communication/Email

Typically I don't check my school email after school hours. My little ones keep me very busy, and it's also the time I spend with my family. If there are questions about a homework assignment, students can always call a classmate, look up Google Classroom, or see if the information on my website can help them.

Online Math Book

If your child left their math workbook at school, they can access the homework by going to Superhero Resources - Math. Here they will find directions on how to access the online textbook. They can also see the homework on Google Classroom
