Dear Parents and Students,

This first part is only for those students that were not able to finish the Diagnostic test in I-Ready and therefore were getting a message that they had no assignments…  You now have assignments!! On Friday evening, due to the I-Ready Diagnostic test being disabled by the company, I assigned a handful of individualized lessons to students that needed them. I referred to students’ NWEA scores to gauge what lesson level was appropriate for each student. The lessons should be review/enrichment, but please email me if you feel they are too easy or too difficult. I will also monitor the online practice as students work through the lessons over the next week to help me decide if I should adjust the level of the lessons that I selected for each person. You will notice that there are probably more lessons assigned than you/your child will be able to complete (if only doing 45 minutes/2 lessons a week), but my goal was to make sure there were more than enough lessons for any students interested in going “above and beyond” the minimum suggested lessons/minutes.

ALL STUDENTS are encouraged to work to complete 45 minutes/2 lessons in I-Ready whether you are working on your Path or working on teacher assigned lessons. Don’t forget to check out the assigned skills in Khan Academy and practice for 30 minutes there too!

Remember, any practice that you are able to complete while we are away from school these next few weeks will help you maintain the skills we have worked on this year in math. Everything is meant to be review/enrichment!

Finally, marking period 3 is scheduled to end next Friday, March 27 as planned. Grades will be based on assignments that were due before March 13. If any students still have missing assignments, you may take a picture of your completed work (or scan it) and email it to me by next Friday, March 27. If you need any copies of book pages or math menus, etc. please email me and I can send you a digital copy. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide retakes for any quizzes.

I hope you and your families continue to stay in good health!

Mrs. Furlow
