I will not be available after 1 pm today due to a non-instructional work obligation. This means no office hours today. I thank you for your patience.
Short Week
There is school today or tomorrow, but not Friday. The only new assignment tomorrow will be our reading lesson at 12:30. I highly recommend getting all your student’s other work done before the break so they can fully enjoy it. However, to allow flexibility, I won’t check work from today and tomorrow until after Tuesday. Use these calendars to keep track of assignments:

Class Meet-Up on Big Blue Button
We will meeting up on Big Blue Button at 12:30 today. This is optional. I am offering it as an opportunity for students to see each other and have a sense of community.
Math
There is a Math Check-In as part of each grade’s math lesson. Students need to complete this before or after they do the other math work assigned. Students will receive a grade based on their accuracy. This grade will not give them a lower or higher grade on the report card. It’s just to help them to get a sense of how they are doing.
5th grade: Lesson 18 of Module 5. Watch Knowledge on the Go video and complete the problem set. Due Tuesday night. Students also need to have completed lessons 17 and 18 on Zearn by Tuesday. There will be one assignment on Google Classroom for this due Tuesday.
5th grade: Lesson 9 of Module 6. Watch Knowledge on the Go video and complete the problem set. Due Tuesday night. Students also need to have completed lessons 8 and 9 on Zearn by Tuesday. There will be one assignment on Google Classroom for this due Tuesday.
ELA
1- Personal Narrative Writing Assignments 1 and 2: By 10 am I will have added a video to the already existing assignment that shows students how to add pictures to their slideshows. Students will have today and tomorrow to finish filling out the slideshow and adding pictures.
2- Read 30 minutes.
Social Studies
4th Grade Incentives assignment: Students should watch the instructional video about how incentives work in our economy. They will read a few pages from our textbook on the topic, then answer some questions to reflect on their learning. Due Tuesday.
5th Grade Armies and Battles assignment: Students will read about and then compare and contrast the British and American Armies. They will learn about two important battles in the way, then watch an episode of Liberty’s Kids to extend their learning on the war.
If you are looking for an extension of social studies learning, the entire Liberty’s Kids television series about the American Revolution is on YouTube. These episodes are very accurate and I highly recommend students watch more than the ones I am able to assign: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHeaIWvdbER3Ic90BzhPsH2aJ5KI3UtmM
