Literature circles day 1 (read and post 1 question)

Electronic Literature Circles

Today in our classroom we worked with a program called Schoology. Schoology is a Learning management System (LMS) which is essentially an online classroom. Students can view assignments created by their teacher and complete those assignments on the Schoology Website.  

While the Schoology program has many features, we will be using it for Digitial Literature Circles. Students will be using the assignment section and the discussion session to complete their daily Literature Circle tasks. Students will post their work and then be required to read the work of their group members and respond. The virtual classroom is private to our members.  At this time we will not be uploading any documents or utilizing any of the gradebook features.  

Today students created accounts and created a password. We discussed internet safety and how to write appropriate posts.  The students seem very excited to utilize this learning platform for their novel studies.

PARCC

Other than make up tests, we are all done with the PARCC pilot test.  We all found the test very interesting.  Click here if you'd like to try the practice test.

Thank you so  much to all of the families who allowed their students to bring in headphones.  This was a huge help.  Students were instructed to bring their headphones back home today.  

If you have any questions regarding the pilot, please let me know.  Otherwise, thank you so much for your support as we navigated our way through this new experience.
