Today in Language Arts the students spent time signing up for for the various technology we used within our classroom. They created accounts for the following websites we will be using on a regular basis:
- NewsELA
- Moby Max
- Read Theory
- Google Classroom
- iLearn
- Quizlet
Read Theory is a website used to help students with their ability to comprehend non-fiction texts. For getting the correct answer, the students earn knowledge points. Every Monday, I will check to see who has the most knowledge points in each of my 3 classes and I will put that student’s name on the board for the week. I will also write the amount of knowledge points the class has earned as a whole. Whichever class earns the most knowledge points by the end of the school year will win a pizza party! Each week, the students will be required to PASS (not just complete) 5 quizzes on Read Theory. This will be due EVERY Friday for the entire school year. They will be given time to work on this in class each week but anything they do not finish will be homework that is due on Fridays. Since today is already Wednesday, I am making the first 5 quizzes due Friday, September 14th at 3:05. I will be giving them time in class to work on this between now and then.
Additionally, we reviewed pages 4 through 10 in our planners.
Have a great evening!
