NWEA Testing and Classwork

on September 13, 2020

Online school – We made it through our first week of full days at school. This is a very different year for all of us. There are going to be a lot of changes. I am doing my best to make it easy for parents and students. I know everybody’s at home situation is different. If things are not working well, please let me know and we will try to make adjustments. Since I am not at home with the kids, I will need a little help making sure they are doing their classwork.

Classwork this week – This week students should have turned in: 2 response to reading logs, 3 math exit tickets (Lessons 1-3), taken a math quiz, and finished the Watery Cave paper in science. Here is a video showing how to check your student if these are complete. I want to make sure everyone understands how to turn things in and starts to form the habits of turning things in each day.

NWEA Testing – We will being preparing for and taking the NWEA test this week. We will mostly test online with a Zoom call in individual breakout rooms. I will have a small group test at school by invitation only.

Devise Readiness Check – The NWEA test works best on a Chromebook, laptop or desktop computer. We will need to check that your device will work with the NWEA test before we start. We will test this in class, but it would be helpful if you tested it yourself first, so that we can begin troubleshooting any problems. Here is the Devise Readiness Check to try at home.

Which Group am I in? – I will be announcing who is in which group by Monday evening. If you are one of the students coming into the building then you must follow the Building Safety Procedures attached here.
