We are excited about getting our laptops soon! We will begin learning how to use Google Classroom where students will periodically receive assignments. Once we get them, they will start learning how to access and bookmark other websites such as Quizlet, Quizzizz, Kahoot, and Brainpop where they can study vocabulary, practice skills, and participate in fun, competitive class activities! |
Study SyncWe have been reviewing reading skills such as story elements, genres of fiction, and theme for the past few weeks and are about to embark on the use of our new textbook installed on our laptops called StudySync where we will be reading a variety of genres throughout the year.

ExpectationsStudents need to charge their laptop each night for use the next day and also need a pair of earbuds or headphones to use our laptops to learn and participate in activities on StudySync, Quizlet, and other educational avenues.
Students have a reading folder that they are expected to keep with them and bring to class every day. They are also supposed to bring their library books to class every day. There is time each week for sustained silent reading and although they are not receiving a grade like they did last year for a reading goal, they are expected to have books to read. |
