Scholastic News homework reminders

Parents,

Should students ever forget their Scholastic News at school, or are absent the day it is handed out, remember that this is available online at https://sn4.scholastic.com/ and student password is aw2026 

Students do not, and should not, read the entire magazine.  They only need to read the pages to complete the back side.  This week it is pages 4-6.  We go over this in class as well.  On Fridays we will read through the remaining articles.

After completing the back side, they are to fill in their answers on a Google Form that is in their Google Classroom account.  When finished, it will tell them the answers they got incorrect.  Using a marking pen (preferably red) they should mark the problems they missed, and then go back and correct the problems.  If all problems were correct, they should put a red star on their paper, so that I know it was checked.  These papers will be turned in the next day, so that I can look over their corrections, and help students as needed.

Not only does this allow me to look over student work before the day begins to help guide instruction, it also helps me to group students easily who missed similar problems.  With 51 students between the two classrooms, this is a great way for me to efficiently maximize my instructional time with them.

If your student has not yet accessed Google Classroom from home, here are some steps to get there.
  • Go to Google.com and click on "Sign In" in the top right corner.
  • Have your child sign in using their AW information
    • username: 2026###@anthonywayneschools.org (### is their own additional 3 digits)
    • password: aw###### (###### is their 6 digit lunch number)
  • Then they can click on the "square of squares" in the top right to access the other Google apps.  If Google Classroom isn't a choice, you can do a quick web search and click on it, and then it should be there next time.
Again, please let me know if you have any questions, or are having difficulty.

Thanks, and have a great night!
