Welcome to Week Three of our school closure plan. I listed out the whole plan two weeks ago but I wanted to remind you of this week’s assignments. Please do your best to complete the following assignments by the end of the week. Next week we are on Spring Break so I will NOT be giving any new assignments. We will be using IXL, Read Theory, NewsELA, and your good fit book to help support your learning. Each assignment is explained below:
Read Theory
You are expected to complete 10 Read Theory Quizzes per week. The start date for Marking Period 3 is January 18th. At this point, you should have 35 quizzes completed to receive full credit. Since you are being expected to complete 10 quizzes each week, you should have 65 quizzes passed with a start date of January 18th and an end date of April 13th. That means by the end of this week, you should have passed all 65 quizzes. Even though the marking period is over, I am still using January 18th as our start date so that no one gets confused.
NewsELA
You are expected to complete 3 NewsELA articles while you are out of school. All three of them have been added to our classroom page on NewsELA. You are expected to complete one article each week. The directions for the assignments have been posted with the articles. They are the directions we have been following all year. If you work on the pet adoption or trophy article this week, you will need to email me because I am no longer checking those on a regular basis.

IXL
You are expected to complete four IXL lessons each week. The following lessons are required. We recommend you complete them in order to help you be successful:
A.1-Main Idea
KK. 1-2 Capitalization
LL. 4 Formatting
Good Fit Books
Continue to read your good fit book for 100 minutes each week (5 nights per week for 20 minutes). You should be half way through your seventh good fit book by the time you return to school on April 14th. Please utilize the public library. Many libraries have online services to borrow e-books. One-Pagers Five and Six will be due when you return on April 14th. For those who want to get started, the directions for One-Pager Number 7 will be posted to the blog and attached to this post.
For help with IXL, there will be links to videos posted to Google Classroom.
Stay safe and please email me if you have any questions.
