To read your student reflections and respond follow these steps:
1. Log in to Sown To Grow. When logging in you will automatically land on the Class Portal Overview tab.
2. On your Home page, you will receive a notification if you have any unread reflections or urgent reflections for the current week. If you have a notice informing you that you have a reflection, skip ahead to Step 7. If you do not have a notification for unread reflections, continue to step 3.
3. If you have multiple classrooms, select the classroom you would like to enter from the left hand side navigation bar.
4. Click on the Check-ins section.
5. If you need to locate a previous week, use the Week # drop down menu.
6. Once in the week menu, select which week you would like to drop into to leave a response. A number in the green circle next to the week lets you know how many unread reflections there are for that specific week:
7. Locate the student who you would like to give respond to and click on "Reply".
8. Once on the student page, you can either select one of the response suggestions or write one of your own. Make sure to select "Save" before exiting out to make sure that your response has been saved.
That is it! You have now provided your student with a response! Next time your student logs in, they will be prompted to read your response prior to completing a new reflection.
