IXL and Raz-Kids

Hello 3P Students and Parents;

Students are now signed up for accounts for IXL for math, and Raz-kids for reading.  User names and password information have been inserted in their reading record books, which students bring home daily.  When using raz-kids, they can access it through the website on a browser, or they can get to it by downloading the app called Learning A-to-Z.  As I have told the students, Raz-Kids can be used for their 20 minutes of daily reading.  Likewise in IXL, I encourage them to look at the sections on place value and addition/subtraction and multiplication/division as a way to build fluency in basic facts of operations.  An app for IXL is also available for tablets. This past week was also a time for school wide assessments, as the students wrote MAP tests for both reading and math.

This week in literacy, the students began working in both their spelling and reading groups. In our math olympics this week, our focus was on number operations, to assist students to improve on their basic math facts.  In our Unit of Inquiry (UOI), we have been investigating the factors which affect how we learn.  In the week ahead, we will pursue this, as well as how we contribute to others' learning.  This week the students will do their summative assessments for this UOI. 

Have a great week ahead!

Mr. Shawn and Ms. Olga
