Welcome back!

Happy New Year!

Welcome back from a well deserved break.  Hopefully, you are rested up and ready for school. 

If you are pondering how to get things started, you may want to think of some review assessments in Assessment Center that will get kids thinking about skills that have already been covered in the year. It only takes a few minutes for you to put this assessment together and only a few minutes to look at reports that can give you a great deal of information about which skills your students have mastered, and which skills still need some work.

You can also set up activities in Skills Tutor to address those skills that individual students need to review. Just click the desired activities, assign them and let the kids know they are there.

If you have forgotten how to get these activities going, check out the Skills Iowa website at www.skillsiowa.org. There are quick reference guides there that will take you through the process for both programs. If you need more help, contact your project leader. We'll be glad to help.
