Reading SOL Strand Sheet:  download
On Classkick I gave each student the SOL strand for the area(s) that need to be focused on the most. This sheet gives a description of each strand. Students were told to highlight their area of focus. These will be the areas that students should focus & put more effort into FIRST. Please note that I took time to talk which each student, so there shouldn't be a reason as to why they don't have their goals (areas of focus) written down & highlighted.

Updates:
As you've probably noticed, everything is starting to pick up more. It's important to make sure your child is keeping up with assignments, because it will be easier to fall behind. The main things to check for towards the middle and end of the week are the weekly Study Island assignments. All work is now due by Friday (NOT MONDAY unless there's a probable reason for extension request). Below you will find the retake dates. Please note that I'm still in the process of updating scores, but it should be available no later than tomorrow morning. Please also note that I review each exam that we take, as part of the remediation process. If your student is retaking, please make sure that they are practicing the areas that they may have struggled in. Suggested websites (Also on Canvas): Study Island, IXL, & SOLpass.org.

Parent/Student Reminder:
This is a friendly reminder to please check Canvas, especially the end of the week, to make sure that students assignments are being completed. I usually give them Monday to finish anything that they need more time on. Please have them go back to complete them with a goal of 80% or higher if incomplete. Please note that I schedule work from Study Island weekly, so they should be working on each subject everyday (I recommend 15 minutes per subject each day). Please know that I'm able to see when they log in, how much time was spent, and how many sessions were done. Study Island is extremely important because I pull grades from here (highest grade from session) and it covers each SOL objective that they test on at the end of the year (if tested). It comes with a lesson, sometimes flash cards, and practice for each topic. If students don't receive an 80% or higher, I should see that they are trying to do the session again. Please check their progress at least twice a week. All assignments are posted on Canvas under the "READING" & "MATH" button, with the other subjects integrated. Having school virtually is already a challenge, so to eliminate stress, I want them to try their best to complete all activities on the Canvas schedule. You can also use Canvas to go back and look at past assignments that may have not been completed. I'm here to help, but please talk to your child on the importance of participating and being responsible for assignments posted.
