Spring Break Work Packets!
Over Spring Break Crew 302 sends home a math packet that students can use independently. This math packet contains a brief mini-lesson as well as all of the answer keys. We will not collect and grade these packets, they are for your student to complete and check their own work independently so that they own their practice (much like our homework!). Paper versions of these packets came home today with students who were present at school. You can also find a PDF of the packet attached below.
If your student prefers to continue working digitally, all of the platforms we use at school remain accessible and their passwords are in the back of their planners. Kids always have access to the following options:
- IXL.com- Students need to work on completing any of the 5th grade level K and L standards (under the fractions heading, see picture to right).
- Dreambox.com- Complete any assignments on the dashboard. These will automatically refresh to keep kids busy
- Read and annotate- Kids should be reading for at least 30 minutes a night. They can read any books of their choosing, but please make sure they are reading! They should also be using post-its to annotate as they read, this is a skill we've been working on a lot in class!
- Wordly Wise- Lesson 14 activities (we will take this quiz on Friday, April 26th)
Or kids can check out these new platforms by signing up with their gmail account:
PARCC Dates:
When we return from Spring Break we will be taking the PARCC test. It's especially important kids are at school on time on these dates. Kids who are tardy will have to sit and wait in another room with little to work on while their class tests and then will have to complete the session they missed on a make up day. This is really disruptive, especially when students have to be pulled for make up days while we prepare for our expedition showcase. Please help us out by making sure kids are well-rested and present!
Testing Dates:
- Thursday, 4/25
- Friday, 4/26
- Tuesday, 4/30
- Wednesday, 5/1
