Week of 9/17-9/21 IXL SKILLS: EE4 EE8 EE11 EE12 EE13 EE14 (Level G)

Dear Parent,

I am pleased to tell you that we will be using a website called IXL in our classroom this year. IXL is a comprehensive learning program offering unlimited math practice across thousands of skills—all of which are aligned to the Common Core. One of the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, during class and during WIN time.  Their progress chart is then emailed to me. 

To get your child started on your home computer, please follow these easy steps:

1. 1. Go to https://www.ixl.com/signin/capeelizabeth

1. 
   
2. 2. Enter your child's username and password and click "Sign in."
   (Note: If the username and password are not listed below, they will be provided separately in planner.)

Username: Firstinitialastname@capeelizabeth

Password: in student planner (email me, if not) 

1. 3. There is no deadline or due date.  

       4.     Click on any skill to start learning!

IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her own pace. The program is adaptive and will adjust based on your child's demonstrated understanding of the material. All of your child's results will be saved, so you can monitor his or her progress anytime by clicking on Analytics. For on-the-go practice, you can download IXL’s free tablet apps for iPad, Android, or Kindle and sign in with your child’s username and password.

I hope you'll encourage your son or daughter to use IXL regularly. Here's to a year of working together to make learning fun for your child!

Sincerely,

Kate Karlonas

PS- This is assigned after class tomorrow 9/18* No need to worry for Monday 9/17.*

Day 3 of HUMIDITY :)

All, 
It's been a very stuffy and sweaty last few days, however, the kids have done really well.  It's tough to focus and adjust to a new routine but these kids have done it quickly. 
They did a great job observing and collecting qualitative data today.  Ask them to describe their object without tell you what it was.  It was a lot of fun! 
Students had a scavenger hunt using their SRB (student reference book) with a partner.  Most finished  that and their Confection Connection paper during WIN today. 
The first week is almost behind us~ 
Best,
~Kate :) 

Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data

Walk Through Paper Challenge

Walk Through Paper Challenge

GREAT first day! :)

Hi All, 
It went by so fast! :) Students were great listeners and patient when we had to work out their sometimes confusing, individual schedules.  Please ask them about their day and see if they can tell you what "Give me 5" means.  
Tomorrow, they will be following their exact schedule.  They should bring their accordions and planners home each night and back to school every day.  
The daily learning target Mr. Whaley and I emphasized today was to write in their planners for all subjects necessary, every day.  Every day assignments will not be found on our blogs/websites.  

The only homework for tonight is to finish grabbing supplies, relax and enjoy settling into the new routine.  
It was a pleasure getting to know the students today! 
Thank you, 
~Kate Karlonas :)
