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. 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 hope everyone is doing okay with the fractions on a number line concept. I know this concept is challenging. Zearn lessons do a great job to help students understand concepts. The Youtube lessons are very helpful as well. Remember Succeed homework help can be found on my blog. A good idea may also 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!

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? Please use lots of details and examples to support your answer to each question.
- You don’t need to use a blueprint, but try to have each question be one paragraph, as well as an introduction paragraph (to hook your reader) and a conclusion paragraph (to sum it up) so in the end you will have 5 paragraphs total.
