Welcome back to our distance learning. All students were sent home with their Springboard books but also all hard copies will be attached to lessons to either print off, fill out online, or do on your own paper. Below we always list previous assignments in a check list to either keep until we return to hand in, take a picture of it and email or send via remind, or just email or share it to me. Please keep in mind that when sharing from your One Drive always have your name, date, and period at the top of the document so we can see to whom it belongs when we open it up or print it off.
In order to keep your Lexile and reading comprehension sharp make sure you are doing 30 mins of Reading Plus five days a week. We will be checking that lessons are being completed. Site Code = rpgriff1 & User name and password are your student number.
It is really important that students attempt to keep up with their Reading Plus and writing from this ELA class. If your student has not been keeping up please contact us as soon as possible so we can make sure he/she doesn't get behind.
