TenMarks supplemental Math Program

Dear Parent,

I am happy to inform you that we will be using a new online supplemental math program - TenMarks, which will provide your student with additional math practice.

TenMarks is an online program that enables students to practice and master math concepts - one topic at a time.

 They can work on direction from the teacher, or choose to practice on their own, anytime.
 While they are practicing, TenMarks helps them with hints on every problem if they get stuck, and gives them short video tutorials to view if they need an explanation - really helping them grasp the concept they are working on.

I have set up each student with their own individual account, and loaded the math curriculum for their grade into TenMarks. From the teacher account, I can monitor and review their progress, and assign work and give them feedback.

There is also a reward zone for some extra motivation where they earn certificates to print out when they master a concept, and some educational computer games they can play after they complete work.

ACCESSING TENMARKS 

Students are able to access TenMarks from home to continue working on the program at their own pace. To log in to their account, students should go to http://www.tenmarks.com and click on the red "Log In" link on the upper right corner of the page.

Login:   (ask your student for this handout)
Password:   (ask your student for this handout)

YOUR ACCOUNT 

TenMarks also allows you to stay on top of what your child is doing via your own account. You can access your account by visiting http://www.tenmarks.com/signup/classroom_parent and using the code below.

Code: (ask your student for this handout)
You can add up to 3 parent accounts using this code.


I just wanted to let you know that we're using this new program, which I believe will really help students improve their math skills and confidence.
Please play the link below to see what this program can do...

The Great Bug Report

The Great Bug Report:

Parents our science project for this term is about Insects.
Your child is to select an insect and make a report about it.

I have passed out a packet that can be filled out and returned for your child's report or your child can select the following to do:

1. Diorama (shoe box )
2. Poster
3. Powerpoint presentation
4. Create a model.
5. Folder report
6. Fill out packet 
Your young "entomologist " should use the packet to find what information they need to display and know about their bug.   I have a grading sheet in the back to see how I plan to score this report.

Under no circumstances are the children to collect, bring, look for, live or dead specimens. (bugs).  I know that's half the fun, but no....lol


Due Date: March 27-28

Rock Star Reading Challenge from Mission Library

Parents,

Our Mission Academy Library has initiated a great contest to help students read more books.  It is called the RockStar Reading Program.  Students read either picture books or chapter for great prizes and school wide recognition. I have given your child the information sheets and the tally sheets that they must fill completely before earning their fantabulous prizes...
