This is the start of our week 2! Please read all of the blog- it is here to help you!
Spelling
We have started a new list this week! List 25. The words are posted on SpellingCity and my “Week at a Glance” post from yesterday.
Assignments:
– Students will practice typing their words using them in sentences again this week. Due: Wednesday I posted it today on Google Classroom.
– Students will take their Spelling Test on Friday on SpellingCity
Writing
I have decided to not start the writing assignment until Wednesday and give students more than a week to finish. There are a lot of students that have not turned in their math homework from Friday and reading assignment. I want to give everyone enough time to get things turned in and the last writing assignment was lengthy!:)
Assignment:
– No new writing assignment until Wednesday this week.
– You can do free writes and have your child write about how their first week on online learning went, something they have learned last week, make up a story, etc. I would love to read any “free write” stories!
Reading
On Friday– I posted a Readworks story with questions called: Deep-Sea Detectives. That is something that still needs to be done- I understand weekends are busy and many of you did not get the chance yet.
Assignment:
– Today there is a new Readworks Assignment called : Born to Run
* This story goes with Social Studies this week and also has inferencing questions ( A skill we were working on before being out of school)
* You get one redo on the Readworks to improve your score
* It is due on Tuesday
***Reading Groups- Each reading group has an assignment for this week along with reading. You can find the assignments on Google Classroom. This is due Friday.***
Math
We are going to be learning about the types of triangles today! These are the vocabulary words you will see:
Equilateral- A triangle with all three sides that are the same length
Scalene- A triangle with no sides having equal (same) length
Isosceles- A triangle with two sides that have the same length.
Assignment:
– Today the assignment is Module 4 Lesson 13
– First there are two videos to watch

This song really helps to introduce the new triangle words and what they mean.

– Next, students should do the homework first and then check it with the answer key. They do not need to send this to me. Must do: 1,2,4,5,6
-Then, students should do the Problem Set. This is what they take a picture of and send to me! Must do: 1,2,4,5,6 Due: Tuesday
Don’t forget!! Zearn should be done daily and students should practice on Khan Academy- It is a great math resource!
Social Studies
Last week was Science, and this week we will focus only on Social Studies
Assignment:
– Students will read Section 5 and 6 from an interactive online S.S. textbook
*Section 5 is called: Why Does our Federal Government Have a System of Checks and Balances? (pages 115-119)
*Section 6 is called: What are the Rights and Responsibilities of Citizens? (119-123)
– Students will have interactive videos and charts on the book (they should click and do those)
– Students will also have questions to answer about Section 5 on Google Classroom. This will be due by Friday. The questions go with the Stop signs in the reading called “Stop and Think”

Sharpen the Saw!
Since we have no writing until Wednesday this week, you can take some time to reflect today and think about some positive things! Take some time today and think about all of the things you are grateful for! If you want to share what you are grateful for, it will be posted on Google Classroom!
Also, there is an online spirit week started at Lindbergh! Here is the schedule
As always, keep up the communication with me and stay safe everyone!
