September 28th the new Module B folder was assigned. It is due tomorrow when I run the reports in the morning. Looking at the reports tonight, many students have not finished. I assign Odyssey to go along with what is being taught in class and helps the students make connections and helps with understanding and retention of the standards and concepts being taught in class.
The Module B test on fractions will be on Tuesday, Oct. 18th, and it would be helpful to have the students work on the Module B folder to ensure understanding and mastery of the standards that are taught in class.

Helpful hints in completing assignments in Odyssey:
1. Have your notebook beside you and use your class notes.
2. Take notes while listening to the lesson.
3. Work out the problems on paper or a whiteboard.
4. While taking the quizzes, use the notes and examples you completed during the lesson.
5. Any work or notes written, place in your notebook.
