As you know, the students have been using the educational program SplashLearn to supplement their math learning since January when we were in remote learning. We often use SplashLearn during school hours, and there are always additional assignments on SplashLearn that students can work on at home. Students have been encouraged to keep up with their SplashLearn assignments… and many have risen to the challenge. For example, students were instructed to complete the various money assignments at SplashLearn in preparation for last week’s Financial Literacy Unit Test. Besides doing home assignments, your child can develop math fluency through regular practice at home. I just sent an email to parents which gives instructions on how you can see your child’s progress at SplashLearn and track your child’s learning.

Please continue to encourage your child to work on SplashLearn assignments regularly at home. Your involvement will no doubt boost your child’s confidence and accelerate the pace of learning.

With regards to the recent Financial Literacy Test, I will be ending these marked tests home for you to review (a few students need additional time to complete the test.. so the marked tests may come home as late as Tuesday of this week). Students should make any corrections they have to make as well. Please sign the rubric and return it and the test to me to indicate that you have seen the test.
