*We have been using this program called XtraMath to increase speed and accuracy in arithmetic here at school.  Students have also been utilizing math prodigy and front row now known as Freckle. From now until the end of the school year, each student will be spending some time at home each day practicing math on a computer, tablet, or phone.  The following morning, I will check in with the information to see the progress being made.  Students will be working Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, and Thursday night!  If a student does not complete their XtraMath that night with the exception of being absent, a TRAILBLAZER letter will be taken.  Thank you for your support.
 
Science-We will have our summative on Sense Receptors Tuesday.  Students have various articles in their science notebook and have had a few formatives to help prepare for the summative.  Students also worked diligently on their Sense Receptors power point!  I am so proud of their hard work!
 
 If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to call (815) 469-6993 or email me at jskrobanski@summithill.org.
