Peek at Our Virtual Week 3

by Amy Halimi on March 29, 2020

Good afternoon Haigh families. I hope this post finds you and your family well. I loved hearing from many of my students last week. This week I plan to reach out and see their faces via Google Hangouts or Zoom. I will keep you posted on this….I have missed their faces and voices! Thank you for supporting your child last week with assignments. I have had great feedback on the Scholastic articles. My own boys are loving them! There is always something interesting that they find to share with me and their dad. I hope everyone is doing okay with the fractions on a number line concept. Zearn lessons do a great job to help students understand concepts. The you tube lessons are very helpful as well. A good idea may be to write out a quiz for your child pertaining to the concepts from last week (Like math quiz Monday). I found this quick, online quiz to do a check in with your child. I hope this is helpful! Enjoy the weather this week and get outside and enjoy the fresh air of spring 🙂

Writing

This is your writing prompt this week:

The world can be a little scary right now, so I want to take this week to focus a little bit on what we are feeling. It’s important to talk about what we are feeling. What makes you feel worried? What makes you feel hopeful? What are you thankful for right now?
You don’t need to use a blueprint, but try to have each question be one paragraph, as well as an introduction paragraph and a conclusion paragraph (so 5 paragraphs total)
Complete this writing on Google Classroom under the heading Week 3 Writing Assignment and submit to me by Sunday, April 4th.
