We are so excited that we finished Forward Testing for most students, as well as wrapped up another successful week with our new schedule. It has been wonderful to continue to see our scholars grow and reconnect in small ways. Please let us know if we can support you or your scholar better.
There is no longer a Shark tank study hall as we switch to a new schedule. If a scholar needs extra support they should reach out to their teacher directly to set up an appointment for help.

Additionally, they have turned in their best draft of their 5 paragraph essay tied to the TED Talk. Ask your student to share their work with you. They should be justly proud of the hard work they have put in this project. Over the next week or so, students will have a chance to revise their essay to raise their grade.
Your student also continues to have asynchronous work that is due each Friday as well as maintaining to read independently for 20 minutes every night.
