Hello!
While we are digital learning, I will place the week's assignments on the class blog by 9am each Monday. I am posting all assignments for the week at once so that families who need to share the family computer among multiple people will be able to complete work as the computer is available. There are also two different sets of assignments--one for students who are able to work online and another for students who need to work predominantly offline. You may complete the assignments at your own pace throughout the week, but you should take the Friday quiz as your last activity of the week. The digital platforms we are using are ones that we have used throughout the school year and reminders about the log in process and passwords for each can be found in my blog post from Thursday 3/12/2020. Beginning this week, we are moving into reviewing previously covered standards to ensure that we remember everything that we learned this school year; you will already be familiar with these concepts that we are now applying to new texts. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me via e-mail at [email protected]. I will be checking my e-mail throughout the day to support you in your digital learning. Even though we are digitally learning this week, the Quarter 3 grades will still be available in the StudentVue/ParentVue portal later this week.

Students have a series of folders in their USATestPrep account filled with assignments to help them prepare for the upcoming Milestones assessment. All of the assignments are set to unlimited attempts until the student has reached a mastery level of 80% or higher. Students may watch videos and read notes in USATestPrep for immediate assistance on lessons in which they struggle before reattempting the questions. The assignments can be completed in any order. Students may check their progress at any time by viewing their mastery bubbles under 7th grade ELA. The contest is open now until we take the 7th grade ELA Milestones assessments.
Prizes recognizing student achievement will be awarded in the following areas:
