Power School Update!!
IMPORTANT POWERSCHOOL UPDATE for PARENTS!
Attention, Parents!
Please note that PowerSchool has been down statewide fairly consistently for the last two weeks. This has impacted teachers’ ability to enter both attendance and grades. We understand that it is a bit frustrating to not be able to access PowerSchool or to have fully up-to-date information on your child’s current progress. Please know that we continue to receive daily updates regarding the status of PowerSchool functionality and we ask for your continued patience as we look forward to the full restoration of this platform.
Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation!
English Language Arts/Reading
You may have heard a bit about Cam Newton lately- he has been the center of our informational/ nonfiction text unit so far. Do you think he is a good role model? What evidence do you have to support your stance? Help students keep this question in mind as we continue to research throughout the unit. As students are reading and viewing information text be sure to ask how can text features (graphs, diagrams, text variations, etc.) help to better understand the topic.
Sometimes when reading students come across unfamiliar words. Look for clues in the text to help figure it out. The words and sentences around unknown words can give clues.
Students should be reading nightly and completing assigned reading logs. Fiction and Nonfiction books should be brought home to school daily.
Math
Science
Our next unit will be Force and Motion...which includes magnets and electricity. We will also learn more out Benjamin Franklin and his part in history.
Remember: Homework is put on Google classroom on Sunday and is due on Friday. If your child needs a paper copy I should have an email or a written note. I only need one so if you have submitted something you do not have to do it again. Please make sure that your child is clicking on "turn in" after completing the homework.
