Tuesday, October 16th

Today I'm in a Compass Learning workshop at the CSD central office.  Students will be working on the following things today:

ELA - Students will read chapter 14 in The Giver and complete a compare/contrast setting worksheet.

Social Studies - Students will complete a sharecropping simulation with Ms. Young.

Math - Ms. Washington will review decimal division with the students and begin teaching them how to solve decimal division with the traditional algorithm.


Compass Learning Update
Right now students have an hour of time during each school week to work on math and reading (1/2 hour each).  Since instructional time is already limited I do not want to block off another time segment for the whole class to complete Compass work together.  

Moving forward, I would like for students to work on Compass learning at home at least 1 hour per week.  Additionally, I would like for students to primarily work on the Science and Social Studies activities since our in-school Compass time is devoted to Math and Reading.  I am currently loading the activities now and they will be ready for this evening if you would like your child to get started tonight. 

Lastly, students have logged in several times to they already know their user name and password.  The website is https://thelearningodyssey.com/# and make sure you type in "Decatur" for the school tab.  

Feel free to email or text me if you have any questions.  Thanks!
