ExactPath (edmentum)
We just wrapped up our Interims! If you did not complete your 6 assignments (3 ELA/3 Math) please get them completed ASAP so we can use that data to see how you're doing. This helps us plan for the rest of the year and see how you're progressing.
Learning Coaches, remember that ExactPath is catered to your child's specific needs based on their NWEA MAP Growth Data. Anytime you want them to get an extra boost of practice, this is a great resource to utilize!

What Can You Do to Help Your Child Grow?
Fluency
ELA
Reading at least 20 minutes per day is a great way to increase reading fluency. Your child can work on building up their stamina by starting with just 5 minutes. You can also change up your reading space to make it fun and new! Some ideas are: reading outside, build a fort-then read in it, reading during a picnic, or read a book in bed. This website has more creative reading challenge ideas: https://www.ateachableteacher.com/free-reading-challenge/
As they read, help them practice comprehension skills like identifying the main parts of the story including details about characters, setting, beginning/middle/end, etc. They can also read a book and describe the main idea and details about the people, places, and thing in it.
Writing
Encourage them to write in fun ways, a letter to family member, creating their own story, making a journal entry, etc.
