Academic Calendar and Connections for the Week beginning May 8

Greetings!

I want to thank all my students and families for the beautiful, generous, and thoughtful flowers, cards, and gifts for teacher appreciation week. I have been treated so very well by you all this year - making work at IVE a great and caring place to be.  You all know I adore and respect your wonderful children and I understand this is in many ways an extension of their amazing families. I hope my work here honors your hopes that your child receives a quality, caring, and meaningful education. 

Thank you and best wishes,


Bradley Hagstrom

Progress and Pacing Notes for Advanced Math Students

By next Tuesday, advanced math students are asked to work through the 10th digital lesson, which places them in Lesson 15 of Unit 6, and at a minimum having worked through digital lesson 8, which places them half-way through the Unit at lesson 10.  This is consistent with the prior request that advanced math students be prepared to invest a couple hours work weekly into the advanced Zearn lessons.

This allows members to participate on equal footing as advanced math project teams begin to think about projects they want to tackle in Mission 6 next week with Mr. Morris.  FYI: 7/16 students have already surpassed this mark and 12/16 have kept at the pacing goal of two Zearn lessons per week.  I checked in with students regarding pacing again today.

Keep up the good work.  I'm looking forward to the projects the students will create.
