Rosetta Stone Languages- Homework

Rosetta Stone was bought for our district earlier this year. This program provides learning time beyond the classroom, which will aid communicative competence and language proficiency. That is why the FLES (Spanish) department is asking students to dedicate time outside the school day (homework) for working with the Rosetta Stone software.
 
3rd- 30 mins a week
4th- 40 mins a week
5th- 50 mins a week

This time should be broken up into increments of 10 to 15 minutes to increase exposure to the language on a more consistent basis. I will be monitoring your child’s progress each week; therefore I’m asking your 3RD & 5TH graders to be done with their homework by Saturday before 8pm.

The district sent a letter home explaining expectations to families during the week of February 17th; click on the link to read it:

***Due to PARCC testing, the homework will not be required for the week of March 9th, it will resume for the week of March 16th***
