Great Start!

Wow! Two people have posted answers to the Week 1 quiz already! And I got one email confirming a Discovery Education assignment. And I got an email from a student who was working on Summer Skills from California!

I took a quick look at the Study Island activity and we had a lot of people logged in doing Study Island work. I counted about 40 Blue Ribbons earned yesterday.

Now remember, don't get caught in the Study Island Blue Ribbon loop, where if you take the test and don't get a Blue Ribbon, it can actually get harder and harder to earn the Blue Ribbon. Make sure you are doing OK in the games section before you try the test. If the program offers some help, read it over, and maybe even ask a family member to help you if you are not answering the game questions well. Then, when you are ready to take the test, work carefully and make it your best effort. If you don't get a Blue Ribbon after a second or third try, move on to the next skill, but let Mrs. Hovorka and I know that the topic was difficult for you.

Great job by everybody who worked yesterday! The rest of you guys, hope to see your quiz by the end of the week!

Mr. Sokoloski
