Dear Parents,

Due to the change in policy for Parent/Teacher conferences at Quest Academy we will not be having our traditional Parent teacher Conferences in Oct and March. Those I feel I most need to meet with at this time will receive an invitation to schedule an appointment for the upcoming September 25th conference. If you do not receive an invitation to make an appointment, but would still like to meet with me, please feel free to let me know via email. If there are openings, I will do my best to accommodate your request.

 

Raz Kids Passwords

I have password protected the students’ Raz Kids accounts. Their password is their same login they use to login to the computers in the classroom. There initials and “super-secret number” (They know what this is).

I have had a problem with some students logging on to each others accounts just to see what reading level they were on, and some kids have felt bad about it. 

I have also added the “insensitives”, when they read and take quizzes, the earn points. Then they can spend them on Raz Rockets, which they really love. I encourage them to read atleast two stories and take the quizzes before they can play with their Raz Rocket Points. 
razFor those of you who have IPads and Smart phones, there is an Appfor Raz Kids! I have it on my phone and my daughter uses it all the time. If you are waiting in a Drs. office, or just need to kill some time, they can read wherever you are! I love it for my own kids! Try it out!

Moby Max Help

Here is an example of what MobyMAx looks like. This child is working on “ones and tens”. In order to complete the whole lesson, they need to finish clear down to “Place value conversion to a number”. After they have completed this lesson, it should take them to the next assigned lesson. If they are behind, it will have them complete previous weeks’ lessons as well. In order to stay current, they need to be working on this every week. We will spend a few days in class this week working on it to help some of you get caught up. 
I will start informing you on the blog what lesson they should be on for the week in order to assure we are all staying caught up!
This weeks lesson is called Skip Counting: 5’s, 10’s, and 100’s

Word Sorts

Daily practice of lessons is critical to your child’s academic success. Children need to be completing their homework daily. All of the spelling (word sort) assignments are the same weekly, only the word lists change. The new words can be found here on the blog on Monday. Your child’s Word Sorts are specific to their learning needs.

Students will be tested on Word Sorts on Fridays!

 Refer to the list below to know what sort they need to study for the week.

    Special Visitor

    We are learning about plants this month for science! We are going to do a lot of exciting things including having a Bee Keeper come visit our class. He will be visiting us Wednesday September 17. He will be bringing in an observation hive with live honeybees and he will talk about the process of pollinating plants. The bees are completely contained and the students love to see them at work. If you are uncomfortable having your child in the classroom at this time, please let me know and I can arrange something/somewhere they can be for this period of time.

    Sending work home

    As you are seeing math work being sent home, Id like you to watch for a few things. When I correct work, I circle problems that were missed. If they miss 1 or 2 problems, I may or may not have them work on correcting it. When I circle 2 or more problems missed, I will pass it back to them, and pull them back to work one on one with me to help them understand that concept a little better. If you see work sent home with circled work, that they have not corrected, they can work on fixing it at home then bring it back for a better score.
