Welcome to Week 3! (April 20-24th)
We hope everyone had a nice Easter holiday and that you were able to have fun with your families!
This will be the final week of your Novel study activities (on choice board). By the end of April, you should
have finished your novel and are preparing to choose a new novel for the month of May. Next week, we will
be moving on to a new Literacy topic, but you should always have a novel that you can read every day.
We are continuing with our Grammar review and this week you will be focusing on Synonyms and Antonyms.
We will be looking at the Arctic Region in Social Studies and there is a SUPER fun traditional craft you can
try out with your families!
As always, your teachers are a call, message or Edmodo away. You can contact us for assistance any time
during office hours from 10:30-3:00 and on Friday, 10:30-11:30. (Or if you just want to check
in and chat!)
Our First Unit of Focus: READING
Wrapping up our Independent Novel Study
Reading every day is very important! If you have brothers or sisters who also need the computer, you can always do DEAR (drop everything and read). Another option is to journal. If you don't have a journal yet, this is a perfect time to start this. It is a great place to pour your thoughts and feelings. Or write a letter to someone, even if you don't mail it, just get writing!___________________________________________________________________
Time to start thinking about your new novel for the month of MAY!
Some ideas where to get books:Lots of free on-line booksSwap with your brother or sisterNeighborhood mini library—Little Free Library (also a great place for you to share your books)Pick up a book with your groceries at Walmart or Costco!
