Students document many ways they use iPads in class and at home!
Aloha e nå Ohana 5B!
Just a friendly reminder that homework is assigned M-TH and should take no more than 60 mins. to complete (including the 30 mins. of reading). If your keiki is taking much more than that, please feel free to inform me. Ipad (tech) is a tool in our classroom and is used often as students use it to take learning to a creative level, but should not interfere w/ohana time! Being aware of what students are doing on the ipad & having discussions at home would be a wonderful way for us to partner to have students practice to be proficient and great digital citizens! Video game playing is NEVER an assignment for class.
7 IXL skills are required each month. As I mentioned at Open House, students are given the whole month to complete on nights of their choosing. This was done in order to NOT tax students by being up late after the many extra-curricular activities they may participate in (sports practices, dance lessons, ohana event, etc). They can choose the night that kuleana is less. Here’s some suggestions you may find helpful: 1)Have your keiki share their IXL dashboard to see how many skills are completed weekly 2) Set goals/target dates to complete skills over the course of the month 3) Have conversation on short term goal settings & make agreements on specific nights when time permits to work on IXL skills to avoid students “stressing out” at the end of the month
If your keiki is having trouble w/meeting this kuleana, please feel free to let me know…I can offer assistance by assigning IXL skills as part of homework. See a part of the reports I receive. These are the top IXL skill~ builders for the week! 🙂
