Moby Max is up and running!!!
We are excited to implement a new web-based curriculum called MobyMax in our classroom. MobyMax is tailored to your child's individual needs, and I think you will be very impressed by how fast your child will excel while using Moby. Moby's features include:
-Placement tests that accurately identify where your child excels, and where his or her "missing skills" are
-Targeted instruction to "fill in" those missing skills
-Systematic review sessions that ensure that your child retains 100% of what he or she has learned
Best of all, your child can access Moby from your home computer at any time.
Student Login steps:
1. Please go to www.mobymax.com/sc950
2. Enter the same username and password as IXL
example username: LCopeland password:lc1234
Once logged in, your child will immediately start the lessons and begin improving his or her missing skills.
You can sign in as a parent as well by selecting "Parent" from the drop-down menu and entering your child's username and password. You will be able to monitor your child's progress and even send messages to me.
CogAT Testing October 21-23
the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) will be administered to all second grade students.
Scores from these tests will be used as part of the criteria for students to be served in the Elementary Gifted & Talented program for the 2016-2017 academic year.
To prepare for any test, students should be well rested, well nourished, and have a
confident attitude. Additionally, unless your child is sick, please make sure he/she is
present and arrives on time at school during testing. Students who miss the scheduled
test will be given a make-up test. Children generally perform better when taking tests
with the rest of their group rather than at a make-up time. It is very important that your
child be here on time the mornings of October 21st, 22nd, and 23rd to test with his or her class. Thank you for preparing your child to perform to the best of his or her ability on CogAT.

Relay for Life
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
Relay for Life will be May 14, 2016, at Dutchman Creek Middle School.
This year we are going to expand our team and invite our students and families to join in the fundraising efforts and the walk. Below is the link...you can search for India Hook Elementary Pirates and click to join. You do NOT have to make a donation today. There is an option to donate later, but this will set you up with an account that you can share with friends and family. If you participated last year, you should still have an account in your name. Please let me know if you have any questions. We are starting earlier this year so we can raise as much money as possible. Last year we raised almost $2,000!!!!!!
