SI - Grade 2

Ideas!

As a team you might want to agree on assignments for September Reading and September Math, as common assignments that all the grade 2 students will work through. With a standard set of assignments for each month, students will get consistent exposure. The assignments can be activated/deactivated each month and retained for use in future years.

It is also easy to create smaller group assignments, as you get to know the individual needs of your students.
Create a class: Be sure you have a 'class' with your students in it. This will give each student a 'home page' with their assignment(s).
Note: You can create as many classes (reading, math, intervention, etc.) as you want for assignments/reports. But, to start you should only need one because you can assign assignments to different students within a group.
 
Create Assignments:
Create for a class or multiple classes or for an individual/group of students.
1. Click your class from the My Classes section of the Class manager page.
2. Click Add an Assignment
