During virtual learning, we hope for the second-grade blog to become a place you can refer back to for resources, objectives, and announcements.

Schoology Weekly Checksheet
Based on feedback received from second grade parents, we have created a Schoology Assignment Weekly Checklist to help support your child's learning at home. Each week there will be an updated tab at the bottom with each of the tasks/assignments that need to be completed throughout the week. If you would like to make a digital copy of the checklist, you may do so by clicking here.
As a reminder, all assignments for the entire week will be posted in Schoology at 8 a.m. on Monday mornings to allow for you to spread out throughout the week/weekend as your family sees the best fit. Each week the objectives for the upcoming week are published to the blog. We realize that each family has its own unique circumstances during this time and we want to support you as best we can. There is a schedule linked in Schoology each week as an option but this is just one option in how to spread out the workload throughout the week/weekend.

Please do not forget the following digital learning expectations below each week for iStation, DreamBox, Reflex Math, and Imagine Learning.

Reflex Math
Each learner is required each week to work on Reflex Math three times a week for approximately 15-20 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.
