WHAT ASSIGNMENT DOES MY CHILD HAVE?
When will we get an invitation to Dojo?
Invitations were sent out on August 17 through email. Check your spam folder if you did not receive one. Email me if you need a new invitation sent.
What is the time between 1:25 and 2:30 used for?
On Monday - Thursday, that time will be used for additional instruction. It may be small groups, individual instruction, library, counseling, or other lessons as needed. It is also my office hours. If you would like to meet with me, please send me an email to schedule a time. On Friday, that time is set aside for school scheduled meetings and team planning.
How can we help set our student up for success?
Prior to school, please make sure your child has their necessary supplies and knows their username and password. Also, help to monitor their Google Classroom account for graded assignments, upcoming assignments, and missing assignments. In addition, keeping in contact with me through email will help set your child up for success.
Where can we find apps such as AR?
All apps used in the classroom can be found on Clever. Clever can be found through their student login on Google and on our classroom website.
Will students be required to read everyday? Will students still be taking AR tests?
Yes, yes, yes. Reading is the key to learning success. Students will be required to read for a minimum of 20 minutes a day and will receive a reading log to complete. AR tests will still be available for students to take. Students will set their own AR goals per month and achievements will be celebrated every Friday.
How will students be assessed?
Screening assessments in math and reading will be administered online during the first two weeks of school. These assessments will place them in Freckle so they will be receiving math and reading supplemental activities at their learning level.
Formative assessments will take place daily and summative assessments will take place once a week.
How will students know what paper activities they are to do?
During class, students will be instructed on what paper activities they are to be completing and what they should do when they finish. Students should come to class with their supply bag which includes their paper copy envelope. They will be asked to show the worksheet(s) on their screen to clarify their understanding.
Will students have the opportunity to socialize with other students?
There will be opportunities for students to socialize during scheduled group times. In addition, our class meet is opened 5-10 minutes early in the morning for students to chit-chat.
