Just a friendly reminder to check SchoolMax weekly for your scholar's current standings in all of their classes. Encourage your scholar to stay on top of their assignments and complete their work in a timely manner. It is very easy to fall behind and we want to ensure that all scholars are successful. As a reminder, scholars will have an opportunity to resubmit assignments to improve their grades. Weekly grades will be entered by Sunday at midnight. Parents will have until Wednesday to request a redo of an assignment. Resubmissions must be submitted by the following Sunday. If an assignment is not eligible for a redo, teachers will put "not eligible for redo" in the assignment description. Next week in Math, scholars will continue with Unit 5- Fluently Multiply and Divide Within 100 and take the assessment on 3/9/2021.

This month is Women's History Month! What a GREAT time to showcase our powerful, incredible, invaluable women to our Tigers through Career Chats! Please contact a Parent Liaison to let them know you would like to come in and share with our Tigers a bit about what you do. Share which grade level(s) you would like to speak to, and which days/times work best for you. We will connect you to the teachers and get it scheduled! Our Tigers LOVE these chats as they expose them to ideas and possibilities they have not yet considered, dig deeper into careers of interest, and ignite/keep ignited that excitement for what is yet to come! If your classroom does not have a liaison assigned, you can email anyone from that grade level (Just click on the image above and you will see their emails) If your grade level does not have a liaison, you can email me with your interest :)

Graciously, Your School Counselor [Mrs. Whitney Green]

Music: Grades K and 1 are continuing to use interactive resources like Peardeck, Nearpod, and Google Slides. Make sure your scholar has their CMIT Gmail logged in to their device so they can participate and sign in with Google. Grades 2 and 3 are using Quaver now, but all grades will be using it in the coming months. If you'd like to get ahead of the game and help out your scholar, have their STUDENT ID saved or written down somewhere for them to use when they login. This is available on their SchoolMAX or on report cards/progress reports. Ms. B has access to all student ID's and can help students out in class or via email any time! Lego: Hi, K-2nd grade students will build their lego model then they explain the reasoning behind the model that he or she has built. 3-5th grade students will continue using the concept we learned recently: variables. Specifically, the variable’s value will be changed in the course of the game. They will complete challenges 46-50. Spanish: Buen dia! In the next lesson, students will practice how to say different types of weather in a negative statement. For example: It is not cold, it doesn't rain. We will also review different types of clothing and means of transportation. Students will participate in a small conversation and will complete a small written activity at the end of the lesson. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know through class-dojo. I wish you a very nice week. Adios! Technology: Greetings, K-2 practiced: Computer Fundamentals: Data Storage During this engaging and interactive digital lesson, the learners receive direct instruction and practice with data storage devices, accessing stored data, and using and taking care of compact discs, DVDs, flash drives, and computer drives. 3-5 practiced: Word Processing: Basic Document Creation Learners receive direct instruction and practice in the area of basic word processing skills.

Encourage students to read for 15 - 30 minutes 3-4 times a week and ask questions about what they are reading. “Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of their deep and continuing needs, is good for them.” - Maya Angelou Art: Greetings Tigers and Parents, Tigers are being mindful of good craftsmanship, effort, neatness, and completeness. We have also been including more reflections. Materials to include: Drawing Paper, pencils, scissors, rulers, and colored pencils and crayons. Fifth grade and Fourth grade need scissors and construction paper. There will be alternative options for those without access to these materials. Physical Education: Students will continue to work on dribbling with their hands for control both stationary and while moving around at different speeds. If you can, please have a ball that will bounce for your child to use in PE.
