vs
How are these classes different?
1) Students are placed based on STAR scores: Elements I=1st grade level, Elements II=2nd grade level, etc. 2) These classes are PROGRESS driven, therefore, students cannot pass the class if they have not started by the 4th week. Why? Because true progress takes time. 3) These classes are intentionally a very light workload. Again, because the focus is quality progress, not quantity of assignments.
- 3 Focus Skills in Schoology (About 15 minutes each)-This is a ability level skill.
- 8 Freckle lessons-1 word study, 2 stories, and 5 Freckle skills. These are HIGHLY customizable for the students needs.
Elements Expectations
Students average 1-2 hours per week in these courses. Why is this okay? Because the focus is on progress, not the quantity of work.
Math Elements I, II
- 3 Focus Skills in Schoology (About 15 minutes each)-This is a grade-level skill.
- 8 Freckle lessons-their choice of adaptive practice or Freckle skills. These are HIGHLY customizable for the students needs.
English Elements I, II, III
- 3 Focus Skills in Schoology (About 15 minutes each)-at ability level.
- 6 SeeReaders, and 2 ReadArounds (about 2.5 hours per week-at ability level.
Math Elements III and Essentials Expectations

Math Elements III and Essentials IV, V and VI

English and Math Elements-Extended Time
What you need to know:
They are not penalized for late work so they do get extended time. They cannot start the class after the 4th week per GOAL Policy because it is a progress driven class.
English and Math Elements-Shortened Assignments
What you need to know:
Shortened Assignments-The assignments are already shortened for the class (1-2 hours per week). If you REALLY REALLY need shortened assignments, the focus skills in Schoology could be excused. Why is this ok? Generally, accommodations are implemented so students can access grade-level standards, but these classes are already at their independent ability level, so additional accommodations should not be necessary.

Math Elements III, Math and English Essentials IV, V and VI
What you need to know:
They are not penalized for late work They cannot start the class after the 4th week. The focus skills in Schoology could be excused. Again, these classes are at ability level. DreamBox assignments come in BATCHES, so if a student runs out of assignments they need to ask their teacher for more. This may happen to our students who try to get a ton of work done right at the end of the quarter so they can pass. This is highly discouraged since the goal is progress.
A Few Odds and Ends
Let's go!
A Freckle Feature
Freckle uses a secret code for word study activities. Each level number corresponds with a reading pattern. Let me know if you heed help decyphering what a student is working on!
