Science
Easily Access Programs We Use This Year
I-Ready Login (Math)
This program allows students to practice, learn, and assess the math skills they are studying in the classroom. It helps me, as a teacher, identify and fill holes as students learn. We encourage parents to support using this program. Our goal is three lessons per week. Some of this will be done in the classroom.
If you are wondering how to log in to i-Ready, please use the attached photo. If you need clarification on your child's SSID, you can find this 7-digit number on Aspire.
(Please only help your student a little in this program because I do not have an accurate picture of what your student knows and what they still need help with.) We would love to see you help your student in math with other tools like talking about math positively, practicing addition and multiplication facts, real-world math problems, reading about math and mathematicians, reviewing homework/classwork, extra practice books, and real-world math problems.
CKLA
CKLA is designed to help students build language arts skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as rich knowledge and vocabulary.
Each unit is comprised of:
- Lessons: including Reading, Writing, Grammar, Morphology, and Spelling activities.
- Unit Assessment: evaluating students’ reading comprehension, understanding and retention of academic and domain specific vocabulary words, and the grammar and morphology skills targeted in the unit. A writing prompt is included, as is an optional fluency evaluation.
- Pausing Points: opportunities to review, reinforce, or extend the content and skills taught.
