In today's Friday folders you will find a paper on how to access your child's Xtra Math account at home. I am not requiring Xtra Math as a part of home learning but it's a great way to practice math facts and it only takes a few minutes a day. I am encouraging students to spend some time each week on the site.
Typing Pal:
Students have access to a website called Typing Pal at home and it's accessible from my Diigo site. All students have accounts and have already spent some time on it this year. Once again, I am not requiring it as part of home learning, but I am encouraging students to spend some time on it each week.
NECAP testing:
Testing started this week and will continue for the next two weeks. We have spent a little time discussing some test taking strategies and looked at scored writing samples from last year.
Kidblog:
I invite you and encourage you to look at our class blog and comment on your child's (or other students') posts. Please pass the website on to extended family!
