Exciting Update:
Today students were introduced to the '8-1 & 8-2 30-minute Homework Challenge'. Students are encouraged to log-in to their EDUCBE google drive account to ensure they have access to the challenge (look under, "shared with me"), show their parents how the challenge works, and set up their nickname this week.
The intent of this challenge is to have students engage in 15 minutes of Math/Science practice and 15 minutes of Humanities practice for a total of 30 minutes, 4-5 times per week. This practice is not mandatory but highly encouraged in both Math/Science and Humanities. Our hope is students will use this challenge to guide their own learning and focus on their own personal areas of growth. Opportunities to work with the material we look at in class outside of school will hopefully relieve some feelings of stress when a quiz or due date rolls around.
Parents, now when your student comes home, instead of asking, "What do you have for homework?", you can ask them, "What are you going to do for homework?".
The answer could take many forms; trying a few practice problems they have found online, reviewing concepts with a Kahoot quiz, reading notes, reviewing or correcting a quiz, trying a TedEd math problem, silent reading, listening to an audio book, working on a project assigned in class. We look forward to seeing what students come-up with!
