5th grade 2 Drtinova
VÍTÁME VÁS V NOVÉM ŠKOLNÍM ROCE 2022-2023!
Vážení rodiče,
pokud si má Vaše dítě vést v programu úspěšně, je důležité, abyste věděli, co se na hodinách dělá, a mohli jej tak ve studiu podpořit. Na této webové stránce najdete informace o práci v jednotlivých hodinách, zadání domácích úkolů a další důležité informace týkající se výuky. Je nezbytné, aby se žáci snažili vypracovávat domácí úkoly a v případě absence si vždy doplnili zameškanou látku. Snadněji se tak po návratu do školy zapojí do výuky. V případě dotazů nás můžete kdykoli kontaktovat.
Při výuce používáme nejnovější, čtvrté, vydání učebnice Fun For Flyers. Jeho součástí je nová digitální platforma, Cambridge One, která obsahuje Digital Pack pro domácí studium a opakování. Všechna poslechová cvičení z učebnice jsou nyní na této nové platformě dostupná. Návod k jejímu užívání najdete na vnitřní straně obalu učebnice. V případě dotazů či problémů týkajících se používání této platformy, klikněte na stránce https://www.cambridgeone.org/home dole vpravo na ikonku "?HELP", kde najdete krátká videa, jak postupovat.
