ROTATING MATHS GROUPS and SPELLING

This morning in Rotating Maths Groups, we will start using our STUDYLADDER onlne learning accounts.  You will receive your logins (1 for your Maths Spiral, 1 to take home).  Parents – this year, Studyladder is giving our class free unlimited access to their accounts from school and from home, so students can do activities at home too. 🙂

These are your Maths Groups. To get to your easy login, you will only need to remember your password (your username will be there already).

HOW TO LOGIN – Go to Dolphinkids, click on the cog and scroll down to Our Websites – find your Studyladder group and when you click on it you will see your name and username.  Put in your password and go to your Set Tasks.

Have fun working through your maths and collecting points – do 5 tasks before changing your avatar.  🙂

SPELLING – You will be working on your Spelling Workbook today during Rotating Groups when you are at DESK.  Practise hard – your first spelling test of your 25 words is tomorrow (THURSDAY)!

TEACHER – Today you will be working with the teacher going over your ODDS & EVENS investigations you started on Monday. Make sure you learn the rule, then you can begin the iMaths booklet.
