Good morning everyone!! Do you believe it is already Thursday?!
You have been doing a great job keeping up with our activities- a few of you need to complete the ReadWorks from yesterday, don’t forget!
I have a few shout-outs: Jacob sent me a story that I can’t wait to read this morning. Feel free to send me your writing or even just a journal of your day! Emma has been keeping me smiling with her sweet email updates! Ali Y. sent me a picture of his reading homework on Class Dojo, which was great to see the complete, well-written sentences!! Mona showed me her great setup at home with her guinea pig Lisa, and Celine showed me her awesome desk too!! Yay!!
I am going to try to set up a Google Hangout for us all to video chat, hopefully on Monday. Not required- but just a fun way for us all to see each other and chat for a while!
This is a note for you and your parents: Your schoolwork should only be taking you a couple hours per day. I know it’s hard and different, but you are fourth graders- almost fifth graders- and I trust that you can do the reading/social studies/science almost all by yourselves!! The math might be a little trickier-but with the help of YouTube videos, Zearn tutorials, and the homework helper, you should be in pretty good shape. I know your parents want to help you as much as they can, but they still have work to do too. None of us expect this to be perfect- all I ask is that you make your best effort. I am checking to see that your work is complete and providing feedback, but my biggest goal is just that you are working hard and keeping your brains active– these are enrichment opportunities, and you will be very happy when we get back to school that you worked so hard. 🙂 I hope that eases some of the anxiety some of you may be feeling. ❤️
Here is today’s math video:
Only one more day this week!! No work on the weekends, but I will try to post a list of fun activities you can do with your family around your house while you enjoy your break.
I have been touring some national parks online using this link, and reading a good book. I have even been trying out some new recipes with Mr. Nosewicz!! And of course, walking Bo. 🙂
Have a great day and I’ll talk to some of you soon!
