HOMEWORK - We want our students using their book, Kindle, or an online platform to read at least 10 - 15 minutes every night and working in their math platform to complete two lessons a week. K-2 are using Math Academy and 3-5th are using iReady now. We are no longer using Imagine Math in ECISD until students reach 6th grade. Feel free to reward your students with Prodigy Math - it's a free online math program that is great for our scholars too. Check out this presentation to learn more about how to work with your students at home on reading and math - click here!!
