Conference Time

I appreciate the time you have taken to come in and conference with me about your child. 5th grade provides a lot of opportunity and time for growth as we embark on the journey toward middle school. As mentioned in conferences and probably by your child we are using ALEKS. This is an on-line program that uses assessments to analyze student understanding of concepts. Students may spend time working on problems and use the explain feature if they are uncertain about any particular item. I can access an online data resource that provides me with the improvements made over time as the student uses ALEKS. The homework for the week of Nov. 3rd was minimal to allow for children to use ALEKS. This week Nov. 10 there will be a homework packet to reinforce the work on fractions and decimals. We are over half way complete with the unit and hope to finish by the end of the week. Thanks for your continued support.
