FAMILIES!!  Wow!! We had a great 5th week at home learning!  I thought last week was good, but this week blew it out of the water! I am so proud of my students and families for the BEST participation rate so far! Here is a recap of our online success… 

RAZ kids- I had 23 students log onto RAZ kids this week, which is a 95% participation rate…I am ONE happy teacher!   Remember, in order for your child to level up reading levels, they need to listen to the story, read the story and get an 80% or higher on the quiz! Please watch the video I uploaded on Seesaw on how to level up your child on RAZ-KIDS:) Keep up the great work at home and remember, students should be reading 20 minutes a day!  I am tracking the minutes and reading at home!

Raz Kids readers who are working towards leveling up reading levels:

1. Mohamed is 84% finished with level A books. He is 16% away from level B!
2. Amelia is 89% finished with level A books. She is 11% away from level B!
3. Isaac is 70% finished with level D books. He is 30% away from level E!

Let’s cheer on our students who are leveling up their reading levels on RAZ-KIDS! WOO HOO!!!

Seesaw-  I love being able to see all of your hard work on Seesaw!  

Seesaw Weekend News- 95% of my students uploaded their weekend writing!  I am so proud of my 23 students that submitted their work!  I love being able to see my students’ writing and also, I can provide feedback to my students about how to strengthen their writing at home.  Parents, please make sure you are going to revisit your child’s activities to read the comments and or suggestions. Thank you for your continued support<3 

Seesaw Eureka Math-Lesson 12– 23 students (95%)  submitted their counting down activity!  Remember: Your child should be completing the math worksheet for 15 minutes and use the remaining 15 minutes on MATH SEEDS for additional practice!  Thank you:)

Seesaw Earth Day Activity<3: 95% of my students made earth day promises of how to help the earth! I am proud to say that I have students who have big hearts and care about our earth!

Seesaw -ot word family work– 87% of my students built -ot words and went back to read them to me! We are getting great practice with spelling and reading our words:)

Seesaw Show ‘N Tell- The videos are still coming in and I LOVE each and every one of them.  We learn something new each week about our friends and I truly love that about this activity!  Keep the videos coming!  

Math seeds- We had 22 students that logged into math seeds this week!  WOW! That is incredible. Keep on practicing those math skills at home:)

Reading Eggs- I had 18 students who logged onto reading eggs this week.  In addition to RAZ kids, I can monitor your child’s reading activities and lessons on reading eggs as well!  Another great program that Haigh offers to our families:)

Side note: In addition to the 5 seesaw activities a week, please make sure your child is learning their sight words (100 total or more)/spelling words, completing 1 eureka math lesson a day with 15 minutes of Math Seeds, RAZ-kids OR Reading Eggs for 20 minutes and 1 writing prompt a day as well:)  Thank you for rocking this remote learning at home with me!
