We now have two ways your children can continue practicing their math, language and writing skills at home.   All 4-6th grade students, in our class,  now have access to a math program and all 4th and 5th level students have an account with Utah Write.

IXL is a web based math and language program that will give your children extra practice at home.  Your student’s username is their first and last name followed by 617, no spaces or caps, and their password is their first name.  For example Jane Doe’s username would be janedoe617 and her password would be jane.  You can access the website at www.IXL.com.  Please encourage your children to utilize this program, as it will expose them to the kind of language that will be seen on the state assessments.

Utah Write is a writing program, sponsored by the state, that has been designed to help prepare our 5th grade students for the DWA (Direct Writing Assessment) taking place in February.  All 4th and 5th level students have a username and password on the inside back cover of their planners.  We will have an official lesson in class next week to introduce them to the ins and outs of the website and to discuss expectations.  You are more than welcome to log on with them, anytime, and begin working.  Utah Write can be accessed at www.utahwrite.com
