Good Morning Class!! We are beginning week 3 of Home School. This week’s Spelling words are: chore, roar, board, snore, wore, shore, oar, aboard, score, tore. Academic Vocabulary words are non-living, plan, revise, energy, exercise.
Home Work Reminders: Students should work on Zearn, Moby Max, Raz kids and Epic for reading, Journal-writing each day, Spelling and ABC ya. I’d also like the students to complete our Biography that we has started on couple weeks ago.
Biography- Before the school shut down, our class was working on biographies. We used the website Ducksters.com and google docs to work on the paper. I’d like the students to revisit our work, complete the biography and send it to me via google docs. The famous people they could choose from included, Sacagawea, Neil Armstrong, Henry Ford, and Rosa Parks. Some of the children wanted to choose from the previous list we already wrote about. They included George Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King Jr. Anyway, the criteria for the paper is to have an interesting beginning, introduce the famous person, include birth and death dates(if applicable), include interesting facts, tell why they are famous or what are they well-known for, and an interesting ending. The paper should be at least 5 – 8 sentences long. Students can use Ducksters.com to research information about their person and use google docs to write the report. We, as a class, have discussed how important is is NOT to copy the words from ducksters but to rewrite the information into your own words. This can be a challenge and where your child may need your help and guidance. Pictures from the internet can be included in the report. I have not had a chance to instruct the students how to include a picture so that portion is optional. Almost everyone had started the report so your child should be able to find it his/her google docs. Let me know if you have any questions.
