Good morning everyone!!!! This will be a longer post, but please read as I may answer some questions some of you had.
I apologize for the lateness of this post. I was working on finishing up a fun extra credit project for you guys next week- I think you will enjoy! 🙂
I have really enjoyed chatting with some of you yesterday. To my students- please, please feel free to email with any questions, comments, concerns, or just to say hi!! I want to know what you’re thinking about your reading, how you are doing at home, etc.
Thank you to all of you who completed yesterday’s activities!! Please remember that it is very important to do the ReadWorks and math the day it is assigned so that you can stay ahead. I will be contacting a few of you today to see if I can be of any assistance in making sure this is getting done.
I have had a few questions about what your daily routine could look like. My suggestions:
Math- about 1 hour. Start with the listed Zearn lesson- watch the tutorials, take your time. Then, you will be familiar with the material when you try the Problem Set and Succeed pages. I have linked videos for all of Module 5 under the links section on my blog- but here is that list again: Math Help Videos
These videos will walk you through each type of problem and match exactly what is in the problem set. If you are stuck on a problem, please skip it and move on!! Keep in mind that the problems get increasingly more challenging as you continue throughout the pages- so the last problems will always be the hardest.
Reading- about 1 hour. I would suggest starting with the ReadWorks or Flocabulary for 30 minutes. Note that we alternate ReadWorks and Flocabulary every other day, but you have a week to complete each Flocabulary assignment.
The reading for 30 minutes and responding in your journal could be a nice quiet time activity for mid-afternoon or evening, just as we normally would ask you to read 30 minutes a night.
Science/social studies – 30 minutes to 1 hour. These projects should take you a while, and you have the entire month to do them! Please do not stress or rush. The goal for this week is to start making a Google Slides presentation about energy and motion using pages F4-F17 in your science book. You could include important facts, vocabulary words, something interesting you read, pictures you found, etc. HAVE FUN!!
I will be grading your online assignments each day. I have already commented back to almost everyone.
Please remember that this is new for everyone, and IT IS OKAY!! We want you to do your best, but we also know that this is going to be a unique challenge. I am so proud of all of you using this opportunity to increase your independence and work on your learning!
I am always an email or Class Dojo message away– please, don’t hesitate. I’ll be in touch soon. 🙂
