Class Dojo

We are going to be implementing a point system, using ClassDOJO, an interactive reward system, where you can see how your child is performing in our learning lab.

Check out your child's online learning buddy, their DOJO, and see how they are earning points.

Students can earn points for:
-on task
-helping others
-participating
-persistence
-team work
-working hard

Students can lose points for:
-bullying
-disrespect
-no homework
-off task
-talking out of turn
-unprepared


Class DOJO, login page.  Check out how many points your child has earned in our learning lab and how they are performing weekly.

Think Central

We love math!

Our new GoMath program is very different from Everyday Math.  In our learning lab we sometimes visit ThinkCentral which goes along with our classroom curriculum, ThinkCentral

Sometimes we use another program, Touch Math.  Find out more about it here!

Donor's Choose Project Funded!

Ms. Rappaport's 4th project has been funded!

In the beginning of the school year, generous donors gave us two iPad mini's.  Now we are getting even more wonderful presents!

What can you expect in our learning lab?

I can't wait for their arrival in January! 

Do you have any ideas of what you would like to be added to our resource room?  Ms. Rappaport is currently brainstorming possible ideas for her next donor's choose project.

Introducing, Story Grammar Marker!  Check out this new tool, coming soon!  Ms. Rappaport has been talking with our school's speech teachers, and she loves this resource, she just had to have it for her learning lab.  A few more special add on's will be coming too to help us with our narrative stories (a big part of common core ELA).  I can't wait for all these things -- I hope we have enough room. 

Talk to write.  Write to learn!

Scholastic Book Clubs

Some students have expressed an interest in ordering Scholastic books that they viewed from our magazine basket.  If you would like to purchase books at a discounted rate, click on the icon below.  Our learning lab earns points to get free things.

Reading Strategies

Here are some of the reading strategies we have been learning in class.  Please make sure to review them at home and continue to be your own teachers to figure out tricky words.
