Science / Communications

Students used the new application, Seesaw, for the first time today.  They were asked to submit a science journal page where they recorded observations about their plant.  I won't have time to review their submissions until later this evening at the earliest.  You will receive an email notification from Seesaw once the submission is approved.

Math

Students all worked on Zearn today.  We reviewed their individual progress thus far via reports. Students were assigned Zearn as their math homework today as well.  I'm encouraging them to use this learning tool at home to support their in class learning.

Reading

Students are working on identifying and comparing character traits using their mystery novels as a source material.
