Lower Campus' Weekly Update
November 13-17, 2017
End of Quarter Testing
Eureka Math
I would also like you to sign up for a teacher account on Zearn.org. Zearn is aligned with Eureka math and Engage NY. The components of the lessons are there, just named differently. Kindergarten, Zearn is different for you. Zearn lessons are designed to be half independent work on the computer and half small group lessons, which is not developmentally appropriate for younger students. The Kindergarten subscription has exercises in which students in Kdg. can use in centers focused on number sense and fluency. There are printables in Zearn as well (exit tickets, assessments, problem sets etc.). Zearn also includes instant data for you to use to create small groups and address areas in which students need additional instruction. I would like your feedback regarding Zearn (ease of use, alignment to Eureka etc.) as this may be considered for use next year.
