Scholastic News: Veteran Code Talkers. Please watch the video, and listen to the magazine online. Please look at the vocab words and play the game, too. You do not have the magazine at home, so you won’t do anything with it. This is a review!!

Science:  Get outside!! Do a nature walk of your yard and write down what you see. What do you see that is spring like? Do you see any budding plants?

Math: Lesson 17 in your Learn book. It should have an application problem, problem set, and exit ticket. I will include the video we normally watch for the lesson here. You do not have any homework for Module 6 because we already ripped it out and it is at school. Check your sprint journal if there are any sprints for the lesson! Any day there are no sprints for the specific lesson, do a set of sprints from your OLD sprint journal, but DO NOT do module 2, please! Please continue to keep up on Zearn. You should at least be at the lesson we are doing each day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-y5Zm_DFybI&t=10s

Reading: You should read for AT LEAST 20 minutes with a BOOK. I know you should have books at home.. At least the ones I gave you every month. Some of you are wondering what will happen with the March book.. I have it for you and will get it to you when we go back to school! Yay 2 books in April! 

RazKids: I will sometimes assign books or activities where you need to read the book out loud and it will record you so I can hear you. If I do not do that, please read any books you want on there. It IS telling me how you score on the quizzes… so please do your best. 


Writing: Today’s Prompt: “Write a story about a house that you thought was empty, but it really wasn’t!” I am also including more writing activities in different subjects. I also want you to write a chapter of a book a day. What does this mean? It means YOU are the author.. Like Mo Willems taught us!

Gym: Get outside!! Stay in your yard, go for a family walk, get some fresh air! If you cannot do these activities because of the snow/rain, try go noogle! GoNoodle: Home

Music: Remember the Fifty Nifty song I sang to you? I am putting it here for you to listen to and practice. First, people will be AMAZED you know all 50 states in alphabetical order. I still use this knowledge to help me all the time, even as an adult. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWGc6AZQlAE

Happy Tuesday!

I finally got my chromebook to connect to my home internet!!

Today is the last day I will be in the building until mid April, please if you need math books come up between 11am and 1:30pm! If you do not get them, I will link the website where you can print them.

Today’s math: module 6, lesson 11! They will have an application problem and a problem set with an exit ticket. I am linking the YouTube video that teaches it: https://youtu.be/q6nZrJEyXck. They will not have homework that goes with it because Module 6 is ripped out of their books already! Plan on doing a lesson every school day, as of now.

Spelling words are the same as last week. The other classes were a week behind, so we had planned to take this week off as a class. If you do not know these, please reference back to my blog post last Monday.

I will include other things in Google Classroom for the kids. I have linked my own YouTube channel on their for them already. Yesterday I read about Vampire Bats and asked them to write about them/what they learned. Of course, this is not enough writing, so have them write a journal about how their day is going.
