Week of 2/8

Wednesday

Hi, parents! I wanted to remind you that we will not have school on Wednesday. It is a district day off. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday will be regular days of instruction.

Missing Work

During the past few weeks, I’ve noticed more students with a growing number of missing assignments. We are moving into new standards in all of our subjects, and students who do not complete the graded assignments will notice a sharp dip in their grades. Please encourage your student to complete and turn in all of their missing work.

With that in mind, we have weekly asynchronous math and reading assignments. These include a ReadTheory passage, Khan Academy minutes, and Lexia or designated reading program minutes. Though some students are completing this work regularly, many simply do not complete these assignments. These reinforce what we do in the classroom and are adaptive, so they meet students where they are learning. Please remember, we decided not to assign additional homework after school releases. Completing their tech time during asynchronous sessions is what reinforces what we’re learning and helps them better understand in class concepts.

Curriculum

We started our Wax Museum project this week, and we’ll start a setting reading project for our novel. Students will have specific portions of each of these assignments to complete each day. Please check in on them. They are really excited about Wax Museum!
