Social Studies Both Grades: There are 2 videos to watch and a Slide Show about Producers and Consumers and Supply and Demand in Economy. If you can’t get the videos to play, please read the directions in Google Classroom. The Slide Show will help you with the assignment. You will write some answers on a Google Doc and press TURN IN when you are done. This is due Thursday, May 7.

Reading Mystery #1 – This week, this Tale Town Mystery called “Stolen Time” is part of your reading. Look under Reading Everyone. You may be able to view the video this time! You have 2 choices – you can print the PDF version and do them on paper, or you can go to the slide show and do the Mysteries right on Google Classroom. Please do Clue #1 today. If you choose the Slide Show, press TURN IN after you finish #1. This activity takes 5 days. It is due Monday, May 11. Have fun! I wonder who our villain is!

Other work this week: Writing Both Grades – Pick a President and find some information about his EARLY LIFE. Press TURN IN when you have completed this first part.

Reading – www.kidsa-z.com – Make sure you have taken the quiz for your assigned book. Please get 8/10 or higher to pass.

Math – both grades have a Homework lesson due tomorrow (Wed.)

Don’t forget about Zearn! Have a great day! Help your parents around the house too and be kind to any sisters or brothers 🙂

Yesterday was Huissen’s Birthday. He is 10!

Happy Birthday Huissen!!

Please add the following students to the Raz Kids – who passed their Quiz from their Reading Group Book:

Aya, Christian, Julia, and Liyaan! Good job!

When you go to Raz Kids, find the book that I assigned to you. These were the books:

All About Chocolate, Building Tunnels, Zookeeping, Why We Sleep, and What Happens When You Flush?

On the site Raz Kids – www.kidsa-z.com each Reading Group was assigned a book to read and a quiz to take. A passing score is 8/10 or higher. I notice only a few students visited the site and only a few have passed the Quiz. This is your Reading Group work. I will only mark your reading as Complete on the Progress Report if you score 8/10 or higher, so some of you will have to retake the quiz. This assignment was due today.

These students have passed their Quiz. Everyone else, please go to this site.

Sophia, Kareem, Nadine, Zachary, and Maya

**Tomorrow I will be putting a Google Doc in Google Classroom so you can tell me about the book you read.

If you did not finish all 4 parts of the Barack Obama fill in –

I sent a new Doc with all 4 parts that you can type on. Look under Reading Everyone – It says Barack Obama fill in. If you already sent me 1 and 2, you can just finish 3 and 4.

Thank you.
