Explore the Activity Calendar daily exercises and refer to the unit stories on www.clever.com
Just talking about the two questions will help them tremendously for future writings and discussions about the current stories.
Please look over homework before your child turns it in. There have been many mistakes in their work and many parts that have been incomplete.
Your child was given their email and passwords for access to the Benchmark advance website.
Students must enter their lausd email and their password
NOTE: THIS CLEVER.COM WEBSITE ISN'T TO OVERWHELM STUDENTS.. RATHER IT IS USED AS A RESOURCE TO HELP THEIR READING!!!!!!!
Go to www.clever.com to enter Benchmark website...
Only for the first time visit you will have to enter Fairburn Avenue School
then:
Log in as a student
log in with active directory
Sign in with organizational account:
input your child's email
and password
tap on Benchmark Education icon
tap on MY LIBRARY to access all books for the current unit
GO to drop menu under the word Library and scroll down to Benchmark Advance
tap on Grade 2 (all the books for all the units will appear)
or
Tap on my assignments so I can track your child's reading
These assignments will help their reading skills so it is necessary to visit this site as much as possible.
When at the Student Dashboard....Please visit My Reading Log...
I put many assignments there.
DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO DUE DATES: ALL THESE LINKS ARE FOR PRACTICE... WE DO THE GRAMMAR SHEETS IN CLASS.
Our first Language assessment was on Friday September 15th. Look in their backpack on Wednesday stuff day. You will notice by the errors if your child needs to be reminded to look back into the passages for correct answers. Some students impulsively check answer C when it was clearly not the right answer. Also many students in the writing portion wrote anything they felt like writing about instead of answering the question asked in the prompt:(
Students were completely disregarding checking for grammar or spelling errors. I left the errors so you could see it.
Please constantly ask your child about what they are reading. Your child needs to know remember important details and what details are not as important in a story.
Many children are forgetting to fill out their reading logs or doing their journal writing for the week.. Please turn them in on Fridays. A week without 100 minutes of reading makes a huge difference in their success as a reader.
Thank you for your support in advance. Hope you see you on Wednesday at 4:30PM at Shake Shack!
It is true there will be no homework on Wednesday night due to our Shake Shake Family event. No homework on Thursday either because of the unassigned day/no school.
Practice reading decodable passages once a day for one minute please. Hopefully they can finish passage eventually in one minute or less. Ask questions about the story to make sure they are comprehending what is read.
Ask questions to prompt student retellings. Ask questions such as: What happened (did you find out) first? What happened (did you learn) next? Can you tell me more?
Please look over you child's homework.. It would help me out a lot. Kids are not capitalizing proper nouns or putting periods at the end of sentences.
Also many journals are way too messy. It is difficult for me to read them. Tell them they have to do it over if it is messy. If you have any time at all, please have your child read their journals to you so your child can hear the mistakes that they have writing. Also if you don't have a reading log. Please have your child ask me for one or write the book on a piece of notebook paper.
Lastly, many of the students are great at reading, though can't respond to what they have read. The simply can't remember the story or the details. Please have your child practice daily by telling you a short summary of what they read that night. Thank you
Spelling list starts on Monday due for testing on Fridays. Please look at the list in advance.
All spelling words, grammar, and vocabulary for the week are provided on the tab to the left.
