Envision Log-In for Parents:
We are using the EnVision math series in math.  We do add our own resources as well.  If you go to the website, you will be able to see the skills we are working on in class, with tons of resources to help you.  Your child has their own login information as well, which might be more beneficial for you to use, but the elementary has a generic login for anyone to use.  For the generic one, go to pearsonrealize.com
            Username:   grahamelementaryparent  
                 Password:  falcons1!  

Your child’s personal login will be written in the back of their planner soon.

Learning Target Sheets
The purpose of changing our grading system is to have a better idea of the exact skills students are able or unable to do.  We also want to provide more specific feedback to parents.  It is our goal to inform parents about the learning standards and targets we are working on in class, and to give frequent feedback about their child’s progress.  In an effort to do this, we are using the student learning target sheets in the back of their purple folders.  They will have a sheet for math, reading, and writing.  Please keep these papers in the back of their folders at all times.  We will update the sheets as we gain information in class.  The students will record the date and just below it, the score. This will help you see how your child is doing for each skill.  If you ever want to know more about the activity, or would like resources or information about how to help them at home, contact me and I will be happy to give you more information.  I welcome your comments and feedback about these sheets.
