Scantron what?!?!

Well, that was about 5 hours we will never get back.
I completely understand the need for the testing - i just wish it didn't all need to be done in the same day.

So, with class connects, and Scantron, I think we ended up with about... 8 hours of school work (including breaks), and about 6 hours with breaks.

Today my DDs teacher called - it was nice to hear from someone and actually get some info on the classes; what's mandatory, what isn't, what we can do if we need more help, and different things that are available for us to utilize.

So, we found out the Class Connects are NOT mandatory, but that they do go further into detail about the lessons on Study Island, which IS mandatory.
Kind of cute - in math class the teacher told the kids to make a deal with their parents that if they get a blue ribbon for mastery, they should get doughnuts. So, I have not problem with that :)
4 Blue Ribbons = 1 bag of mini munchkins! (Hey, don't judge me, maybe she will start eating breakfast!)

I was SO happy yesterday when all the materials came, and I saw that there were Learning Coach Guides, and Student Guides. It will save us from printing and wasting papers.

Tomorrow we will dive into all the coursework, and try to catch up. Thankfully we have no class connects, so that option is out. I really am seeing how this OLS is so much better than B&M. There is no limit to the time frame on the Lessons.

Well, thats it.
