New Weekly Homework

 We will begin using MobyMax with our weekly homework. MobyMax, is a wonderful educational tool that I would like to take full advantage of. Starting the week of the March 7^th, MobyMax will be assigned for homework nightly. It is important that you know this is a tool that students can use 100% on their own; and parents and families should refrain from helping their students, other than to log on. The curriculum is continually changing to meet the needs of individual students. Therefore, if you help your student, it is not a true assessment of their needs and the program will not assign the proper type and amount of work they need. This is especially important for the beginning placement assessments. The program will completely meet students at their need level. Please continue to encourage your student to do their best.

Thank you

Science Club Blog

Ms. Smith has decided to create a "Science Club" page on her blog, where she will post weekly content for all REACH students/families to access. This page will allow those who are not participating this trimester to follow the weekly sessions and participate or recreate activities at home. Content will vary as project-based weeks may have little to post online.
