FLIPPING THE TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM

Parents and Guardians,
Many of you have asked how you can support your student’s learning at home. Here is an important way you can do that.

Go to www.learnzillion.com. LearnZillion is a website that provides teachers and parents with video lessons showing what your student needs to learn each year. The videos include a 3-5 minute "teaching" video and as we get accustomed to the site, a short 'practice' video. Your student can watch the videos alone or with you.  Have your student take notes while watching. Create a notes sheet by taking a piece of paper and breaking the front page into the following sections:

• What is this lesson about?
• Review
• Mistakes to avoid
• The main thing to learn

Eventually the students will be given a username and password for the site. This will allow them to log onto the site, watch the video and try the 'guided practice video' that follows the video lesson. For now, I will be  giving them a link to the video and a sample problem to try on the class blog. They are required to bring this  in to school the next day completed.

Thank you for supporting your student’s learning at home. Let me know if you have any questions.
