Today was a day that many students started to feel the urgency of getting their education. We have lost much of our educational time due to snow days and delays. There are a handful of students that used that time off to their educational advantage, and many others who were very surprised to discover there are only 2 more weeks left in the grading period. Check with your student tonight about how they feel. Feedback and Data Binders went home tonight to help with this conversation. Here are 3 key topics you should look for before filling out the reflection page:
- Week 26: This week we used a participation packet to show our growth instead of an ExamView test. The packet was worth 10 points. How did your student do with participation last week?
- Reading Counts Reports: The students have known since the beginning of the grading period that they are responsible for reading 5 chapter books at an increasing Lexile this grading period. 5 books = A+; 4=B, 3=C, 2=D, 1=F. Your child should currently have at least 3 books read, leaving two more books for the last two weeks. Please review the Reading Counts report to see how many books your students has left to read.
- Compass Learning: Students are "Going for Gold" with Compass Learning. They earn a medal for each 15 activities they successfully complete. Most of the students are doing very well with this challenge. Review the report to see how your child is doing. I would also like you to note any activities with less than an 80%. These are areas of concern for your student. You can assist them by having them go back to the lesson. Just log onto Compass Learning at home, and enter the activity code in the activity code box on the main screen of compass learning. Below is a snap shot of a report showing the activity code highlighted.
