WHAT IS A FLIPPED CLASSROOM?

---

This year we will be following a "flipped classroom" learning format. What this means is that what has traditionally been thought of as classwork becomes homework, and the homework becomes classwork.

For homework, students will be required to watch a video lecture. They can pause, rewind, or re-watch any segments of the video at any time. Each video will cover a lesson that is 5 to 15 minutes long. These videos are all on YouTube, and the links are below. After watching the video, students will answer a short problem set to help cement the new concept. If for some reason you are unable to watch the videos at home, please let me know. Students can come before or after school to watch the video lessons.

When students come into class, we will begin by doing a quick review to refresh what they learned the previous night. Students may discuss with partners what they learned about the lesson, or if it was a difficult concept we will go over the example problems together. After the review, students will take a short quiz. This will help determine the level of their understanding. Those that didn't understand the concept will work individually or with a small group with parent volunteers or myself. Those who understood the concept will begin working on the math problem set for that lesson (30 problems.)

Students are expected to work hard throughout the time provided. Those that work hard and do their personal best will turn in the problems they completed in class. Those that do not do their personal best will bring home math problems to work on at home. Each Wednesday I will send home a folder containing the previous week's assignments. Students may redo any low score assignments to improve their grade.

Fridays are usually test days, so the Thursday math video will be for the lesson taught on Monday. Students will need to review the math lesson video over the weekend to prepare for the Monday lesson.

PRODIGY MATH GAME

---

Another review tool your students can use is a program called "Prodigy". This is a fun, fantasy game that incorporates math practice into it. The game is completely free, though you can become a member for "upgraded" items. There is also a free app. It does have a chat function; if you don't want your student to be able to talk to other players, simply sign into the OFFLINE world. If you are interested in trying it out, visit prodigygame.com/play, select new student, and enter the class code: 9D92FE

Stunning images of the lighthouse in all kinds of weather alternate with views of intimate interior detail and circular motifs.

Martinez-Neal uses smudgy graphite and colored pencil to convey a soft palette that gently transports readers into Alma’s rich ancestral past. A Big Mooncake for Little Star, illustrated and written by Grace Lin, published by Little, Brown and Company, a division of Hachette Book Group, Inc. Lin’s detailed compositions and palette create a wholly original fable imbued with traits of the Chinese Moon Festival.

The Rough Patch, illustrated and written by Brian Lies, published by Greenwillow Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. “Evan and his dog did everything together” until “one day, the unthinkable happened”. With compelling compositions and mastery of light and shadow, Brian Lies illustrates an emotional arc of loss, grief, healing, and hope.

2019 Medal Winner Merci Suárez Changes Gears, written by Meg Medina, published by Candlewick Press. Using humor and grace, Merci, a charming and plucky protagonist, cycles through life’s challenges with the support of her intergenerational family. This richly nuanced novel tackles the complexity of navigating a multicultural identity amidst changing family dynamics. “Meg Medina’s warm and honest novel masterfully depicts one Cuban-American family’s life with authenticity and empathy,” said Newbery Medal Committee Chair Ellen M. Riordan. 2019 Honor Books The Night Diary, written by Veera Hiranandani and published by Kokila, an imprint of Penguin Young Readers, a division of Penguin Random House (originally published by Dial Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Penguin Random House). Following introspective Nisha and her family as they flee their homeland for an uncertain future, Hiranandani illuminates the 1947 partition of India with unprecedented balance and sensitivity. Through spare evocative diary entries addressed to her late mother, Nisha discovers the complex beauty of her Hindu-Muslim identity. :: The Book of Boy, written by Catherine Gilbert Murdock, illustrated by Ian Schoenherr, and published by Greenwillow Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. From Murdock’s first line, readers are swept into an epic quest across Europe in 1350 with Boy and a mysterious pilgrim, adventuring to recover seven relics of St. Peter. Layered characters from goats to nuns, lyrical language, and multiple reveals combine to create this powerful story of redemption.

LATE/MAKE UP WORK

---

Student are able to make up low scores and turn them in until the last day of the term. This only applies to assignments turned in on time. Students have 1 week to turn in late assignments. After the week, assignments will be worth 50%. All of the DLR's, Geography, math, can be worked on and turned in for more credit. The idea is to learn the information. Please email me - or come by- whenever you have any questions or concerns.
