Reflex Math
Each learner is required each week to work on Reflex Math three times a week for approximately 20 minutes. Our goal is for learners to earn a green light 3 times a week. Although the Green Light depends on students correctly answering facts, not time used, students can typically get the Green Light in 15 minutes of concentrated use. Read here to learn more about how to help your child successfully achieve a green light three times a week.
Imagine Learning
Imagine Learning is a program used with select EL learners. If your child had Imagine Learning login information on their login sheet, we ask that they are using for approximately 20-30 minutes daily (Monday-Friday). Please make sure that your child is finishing their lesson before logging out. If a learner logs out before their lesson is complete, they will have to start it over upon their next login.
KTEX
We want to encourage our learners to watch our campus announcements, KTEX, each day. You can access each day through the morning message slide, as well as the picture above. (the link is the same each day) Be on the lookout for more guest appearances of different TCE staff each day. Next week your child will want to make sure to tune in for some furry guests on KTEX for Pet Week!
Technology Support
As we continue to learn and navigate Schoology through distance learning we will continue to create resources as a second grade team, TCE campus, and district to help navigate Schoology. Here are a few resources we've shared out this week. Continue to check back as we plan on updating regularly as needs and resources arise.
