Placement tests in MobyMax- 4/6/2020
Hello,
For this first week, I would like students to complete the placements tests. There are four placement tests: math, language, foundational reading, and reading level placement. I have also included directions on how to find the reading level placement. Please work no more than 30mins on each test at a time so students do not get burnt out!
Update on MobyMax and other activities
Hello All,
I just wanted to give you a quick update on what our goal will be when it comes to distance learning and working on MobyMax. I am only going to ask students to work on MobyMax for 30 minutes per subject. I will be assigning certain quarter 4 content so be on the lookout in MobyMax for those.
In addition to MobyMax and starting next week, I will be posting spelling words in SpellingCity weekly with various activities and a weekly assignment in Prodigy. These are not a requirement, they will be considered extra work in addition to MobyMax. If you need your child’s log in still, please let me know and I would be happy to send it.

I also sent a chapter book and a reading journal home for them to respond to. I have also uploaded a few spelling lists into SpellingCity.
