I gave an online assignment tonight on BrainPOP - it's a short video + online quiz for review about the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I assigned it not only for the content, but also to get everyone on their device at home successfully. Please make sure your child completes this tonight and do email me if you run into any problems logging on with the new Clever badge.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, we will begin the midyear i-Ready diagnostic assessment in math and reading. Students decide which subject to do first. Once everyone in class has completed both subjects, I will send the reports home in the Thursday folder, along with a homework update. However, as soon as your child completes one subject, the i-Ready lessons assigned to them will automatically reset to match their current levels of mastery.
I've revised the seating chart. Some students are happy with their new seats, some not, and others so-so. Pretty much what I'd expected. Be sure to ask your child how they feel about their new seat/new table mates.
