Happy Friday! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. Just a couple of quick items. If you have any questions or need assistance, please let me know.
MCAS Update: Technology wise, we had a very successful MCAS experience yesterday with 3rd grade. Please remind your students to completely logout of their computers and shut down (that means completely turned off, not at the login screen) at the end of the day. All computers in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade should be following this procedure. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
Symphony Math: Looks like there will be several updates coming to Symphony Math during the 2017-18 school year. Wonderful that this company takes the time to gather feedback from it's users and actually implements changes. You can learn more about these updates here. The updates include the following 4 items:
- New (and FAST!) Data Dashboard
- Visual Feedback for Every Task
- Video Support for Students and Teachers
- Growth Mindset Features
