3-5 Level Up Party! You can support your students' academic success by doing the following.
Make sure they log into their blended learning platform for 45 minutes for each content (math and reading) area weekly.
Make sure they concentrate and do their best when logged in. They must pass the lessons to grow.
Remind them to complete and turn in their homework. This provides them practice on what they are learning in class.
