Good Morning Everyone!
1st Goal of Today: Finish the 6 i-Ready lessons with the quiz at the end. You MUST pass the quiz in order to move on to the next lesson. These are enrichment lessons that you should be able to complete on your own. They are due by the end of the day! (It is a total of about 3 hours worth of work- 1 hour 3x per week).
2nd Goal of Today: Make sure you are working on your Khan Mission and IXL assignments previously assigned. Please do not wait until the last minute! You will be very busy!
Remember to check your school email and my iBlog daily! Please reach out to your classmates and be sure that they are checking the iBlog. I have noticed that most of you have been working diligently on your iReady Lessons, Khan, and IXL. I am very proud of your efforts and your dedication to your education. GREAT JOB!! If you haven’t been working on your lessons, please start right away so you are not overwhelmed and do not fall behind.
Some things to remember aka FUN FACTS!
- We spend 100 minutes in math class, 5 times per week. That is 500 minutes per week in the classroom working on JUST math. That’s over 8 hours!
- I am asking that you spend around an hour, 3 times per week. Ideally, I would like 1 hour per day, but I know you have other classes.
- If you spent one hour a day, 5 times per week, that is 300 minutes. That is 300/500 of the minutes we usually spend in school! That is only 60% of the work we normally do in class.
- If you spent one hour, 3 times per week, that is 180 minutes. That’s only 36% of the work we normally do!
- If you are sitting down, focusing, it won’t even take you that long! Thank you for your dedication to educational excellence!!
- If you made the mistake of waiting until the last minute (we all do it once in a while, it happens!), PLEASE learn from this experience and make a schedule for yourself for next week so that you do not get behind.
IF YOU NEED A CHROMEBOOK: Please go to Lowrey with a parent between 12:30-2pm to sign one out. One per household.
