LEVELING UP IN LEXIA
Congratulation to Cameryn for Leveling Up in Lexia. He completed his literacy learning adventure the English Garden and is now headed to the Swiss Alps!

THIS WEEK IN FRECKLE ACTIVITY
Most Correct Questions: Levi
Most Time Spent On Freckle: Arya
Highest Accuracy: Mattia

Class 220 Fact Practice scores have been consistent and strong this week. The Targeted Practice scores were a little lower on Monday, but as the week has gone by, scores have improved. You probably noticed that your Targeted Practice Assignments were multiplication based on Monday and Tuesday, while Wednesday it shifted to division. Thursday will be another set of division questions, and expect Friday to be a mix of both. Read the problems carefully, listen for key words, make a picture of what the problem is describing (multiplying / dividing), and go from there.

CLASS 220 INDEPENDENT READING...
In Small Group Video Conference Meetings this week, some students shared about books they were reading. Here are a few of the titles/covers of books being read by Class 220 students.

INDEPENDENT PROJECTS AND LEARNING EXTENSION

This week, I recommended students engage in independent projects such as Google Informational Slide Shows and Storyboards. Also, I encouraged them to try out the ECO and Four Winds learning opportunities (scroll down to yesterday's Class Blog for more details). One Class 220 student, Branaman, reached out to me to share his independent project - an informational slide show. 

He'll be sharing it at our Class 220 Video Conference 

Meeting on Friday!

STUFFIE DAY VIDEO CONFERENCE MEETING

Last week it was hats, this week it will be stuffed animals. Bring your favorite stuffie (or two) to the Video Conference meeting on Friday. Be ready to introduce it to all the others!
