News from 302!

Winter Break Work
Over the holiday break Crew 302 does not assign a required winter break packet. These packets often don't get graded and so don't really seem like time well spent over the holiday break. Instead, we ask students to complete work on the platforms we already use so they can get immediate feedback! We also ask that they keep reading! Kids should plan to work on the following activities over break:
- IXL.com- Students need to work on completing any of the 5th grade level G.1-G.21 standards (under the decimal 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. All students will bring home a new book that we give as a holiday gift. They can read this book or 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 7 activities (we will take this quiz on Friday, January 4th!)
Or kids can check out these new platforms by signing up with their gmail account:
