Happy Friday! Everyone has done a great job so far with their first week of online learning. It has been very difficult to not be in front of everyone and not feel the normalcy of our school routines! I gave out a survey to see if the class wants to have a Zoom video meeting so they can chat with their friends and I can see how everything has been going!
I may do the Zoom today at 3:30. Keep watch on the blog and Google Classroom- I will keep you updated if I am going to start it at that time.
We have a new math and reading assignment today- It will be due on Sunday. I am also going to give some reading group work to start!
Writing
– The final typed draft is due TODAY for writing. Most of turned it in and I put comments on it. You can find the google doc to type your final draft on Google Classroom.
Keep in mind:
* The story should be 4 paragraphs, not 5 (that was a typo)
* Your blueprint is what helps you to make your paragraphs (just follow the boxes)
* You need to hit TURN IN once you are done typing
* Look and see if I send you any comments- you may have to fix something!
* After you turn it in, you are all done with writing!
Spelling
-You have a spelling test today! You can take it anytime- it will be due by SUNDAY!
– To take the test, you go on Spelling City and there is an assignment called “Spelling Test Week 24”
– It will read you the words and you have to type them. You may want headphones!
– Let me know on Google Classroom if you have trouble getting it to work
Science
-If you have not yet, you need to take your Volcano Quiz on Google Classroom. It is due TODAY!
– The written answers mark you wrong if you do not type exactly what it wants you to, so do not worry- I will check it (it doesn’t mean you have it wrong)
Math *New Assignment*
-We are going to be skipping Lessons 10 and 11 in math (they are better to do together in school)
-We are going to be doing lesson 12 today. It is about lines of symmetry! A shape has symmetry if you can draw a line on the shape and both sides have a mirror image!
