Over the past few days students have been getting to know the classroom procedures and expectations, as well as getting to know each other. We began the week by discussing traits of a good student/classmate.

On Wednesday we used the Chromebooks to review how to log in to Khan Academy, which included signing up students that are new to using Khan Academy. At Open House I will briefly discuss our use of Khan Academy this year to support their learning in math.

Yesterday, the class syllabus (brochure) and suggested supplies were discussed and students learned how to play the math game Muggins.

Ask your student about the team building activity that he/she worked through in class today that involved stacking cups using only string and a rubber band. They were pretty creative!

On Monday we will begin NWEA math testing and we’ll use Tuesday to finish testing as needed.
