- We have finished up rounding, and everyone did very well on the rounding and place value test. This week we will start learning about addition properties. For the homework, please have your child work on Prodigy four nights this week, for 15 minutes.
- Prodigy Game is a fabulous tool for math, but it does have the upgrade that the kids want to purchase and REALLY don’t need. Last year we were able to get a deal on the upgrade. If this deal arises again, I’ll let you know.
This is how Prodigy Works: I go in each week and assign them the topics we are working on, or the concepts they are struggling with. When they complete these assignments, the computer adapts to what they need more practice in. I am amazed at how many of them have completed over 100 questions in just one week. I’m so IMPRESSED. Also, I have been able to log into Prodigy on several different iPads, Notebooks, Tablets and computers. If your child is having a problem with this, please have them click here: Prodigygame and it should take them to the game.

- Spelling this year has changed. We are using direct instruction to teach spelling and all the students in our class will have the same spelling pattern, with differentiation happening in our individual seat work time. We will focus on the spelling patterns introduced and a set of sight words. We will cut them out in class this week and then I will send them home for your child to use all week. They need to be typing their words in every night, so make sure your child keeps their spelling words that we cut out. Under the homework tab is the e-submission tab. If you click on that it has all of the forms that your child needs to be typing into every night. They are listed Monday, Tuesday, Wendesday, and Thursday.
- Please have your child read every night for 20 minutes. You can keep track of your reading minutes on this reading log, or, you can submit your child’s reading minutes under the homework tab, e-submission, reading minutes link. Make sure that the reading minutes are turned in on Friday, in the folder, or online.
