Hi Families!
We hope you had a nice weekend! Please make sure you thoroughly read this newsletter as there will be some changes next week in each subject area! We will be posting the Seesaw activities the night before so parents can review the lesson and prepare for the next day. Please feel free to look at the assignments when they are posted, however, please do not post your response until the next day. Remember, all assignments are due by Saturday at 7PM. After that time the lessons will be archived and only posted to your students’ journal IF they completed the assignment. Reading: Continue to use Lexia and stamina read daily. You can use Raz-kids for supplemental reading material. Reading: A Day in the Life of a Garbage Collector by Nate LeBoutillier Learning Target: RI 1.1 Ask and answer questions about key details in a text. Suggested Vocabulary: Swipe: pull a plastic card through a machine that reads the information on the card Time Card: card used to record the time workers start and end their workday Bin: large container or box for storing things Routes: ways to get from one place to another Holding Area: place where things are kept until they can be moved Recycled: saved to be made into new things Landfill: place where garbage is buried This will be Monday’s reading lesson and Wednesday the students will read a fiction book off Scholastic. Writing: We are finished writing our 4 books for SERIES WRITING. This week we are going to write a MEET the AUTHOR page to go at the end of each book. You can have your student make 4 separate MEET the AUTHOR pages or make 1 and photocopy it 3 more times to add to the end of each book. We will also be working on revising and editing all 4 books this week so they will be ready to publish! They only need to upload the MEET the AUTHOR page on Monday. The revising and editing WILL NOT need to be uploaded. Math: Students can now choose to answer the assignment problems on Seesaw or in their problem set books but should be watching the video on Seesaw first! The Seesaw lesson will show the 3-5 required problems for that assignment, however, the problem set will have more. You can do the extra problem set problems for an extension activity. Please make sure you and your child read all the directions so you know what skills or strategies should be used that day. As a reminder, RDW problems require students to Read the problem, Draw a picture (will usually say what kind in the directions), and Write a number sentence and statement to match the story. We are trusting that you will not get ahead of the Seesaw lessons because it is important that students watch the corresponding lesson before doing any work! Our lessons will not be in numerical order so students will have to see what lesson number we are working on each day. We hope that providing the Problem Set books will take some stress away from the math work! Just remember to upload a picture of the completed required problems and upload to the corresponding Seesaw assignment. In addition, if you notice your student getting distracted or not being able to focus, set a timer for 10 minutes. During that 10 minutes, your child should be independently working on the math problems. Once the timer goes off, your child can be done and start going over their work with you. Students should be working that entire 10 minutes just like we did in class! Below you will find the previous weeks’ math lessons for reference. The days with a star are key lessons that students should watch even if they did not complete the assignment.
