Newsletter 10-4-17

It was wonderful meeting with all of you last week.  Your children have made so much progress this year, and it was nice to be able to share that with you.  We have a great class!

Since there is no homework packet this week, please have your child use the extra time to do Reflex Math, read, and go on Raz-Kids.  If you haven’t started the 20-Book Challenge, this would be a good week to begin.  It is in the front of your child’s planner.

Jaya is our first student to be 100% fluent in Reflex Math.  Congratulations!

Our class has made some progress in Reflex Math.  We are now at 42% fluency.  Our students who had 30 or more new facts in the last two weeks are Armoni, Eli, Santi, Thomas, Driggs, Tommy, Izzy, Keiper, and Connell.  Terrific!  

Here is a reminder of how to have your child do Raz-Kids.

1.  Many of you expressed interest in knowing how to monitor your child’s progress in Reflex math.  Here are the instructions for how to create a parent account.  If you are missing some of the login information check with your child first and then email me if that doesn’t work.

Creating a parent account

Parents can easily monitor their child’s math fluency progress on Reflex with a Reflex Parent Reporting Account.

To set up an account, you will need your child’s Reflex sign in information (their teacher’s Reflex Username, the name of the Reflex Class, 

and your child’s Reflex Password). Your child should have this information if they’re logging on to Reflex regularly.

1. Go to https://www.reflexmath.com 
2. Near the bottom of the screen, click Sign up for a free Reflex Parent Account today!
3. Enter a valid email address as your Username and click Sign Me Up.
4. Click the Activation Link in the email you receive, and create a Password when prompted. 
5. Click Register when done.

Once registered, launch Reflex at https://www.reflexmath.com Log into your new account. Enter your Username (your email address) and Password

and click Submit.

If you do not receive the activation email, please check your junk or spam folder.

 Adding students to a parent account:

If you have other children that are using Reflex, you can add them to your Parent Reporting account to follow their progress.

1. On a PC or Mac, go to https://www.reflexmath.com and log in to Reflex. Enter the Username and Password you created. 
2. Choose Add Student in the lower left corner. After you’ve read the information on the screen, click Continue.
3. Enter your child’s Teacher Username and click Submit.  My teacher Username is 2kadamscsd
4. Select your child’s class from the list.
5. Select your child’s name from the list.
6. Enter your child’s password for Student Password and click Submit.  This is their student ID 

Now when you select your child’s name on the screen, you can look at the reports on your child’s progress in Reflex.
