I few updates for 3/23-3/27.
- I have been able to get IXL in Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. If you would like to use this resources at home, it is the same under the same account as logging into IXL for Math.
- New homework has been posted on PowerTest.
- Reading: PWCS TEI-Sock Puppet There is no specific strategy. It is an overall review of reading skills.
- Math: _BMES HW Week 2 This week's homework is a review of SOL 3.2 The student will a) name and write fractions and mixed numbers represented by a model; b) represent fractions and mixed numbers with models and symbols; and c) compare fractions having like and unlike denominators, using words and symbols (>, <, =, or ≠), with models.
- I hope you and your child(ren) have been enjoying my YouTube read alouds. I love filming it every day and hopes it brings some comfort with everything going on at the moment. If your child has a request, please let me know and I will do my best to make it happen. Amazon and PWC Library curbside pickup have been my best friend ??
For SeeSaw, I will be assigning activities related to content for review over the next month. These activities are completely optional. It is a fun and creative way to keep student engaged with learning. Simply scan the code on an iPad or computer with a camera and it will link the page to my classroom page. From there students can complete activities under their own account.
To encourage writing if we are out of school, I have instructed students to bring home their black journal. Since students cannot write about school, I would like them to take a few minutes of each day to write to me about what they did with their day off, or even create a fun story!
For Math:
For Language Arts
For Science and Social Studies
- Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr. are great resources to watch videos and play games related to content. Students will need to log in with Clever.
- Solpass.org is a great website for review of all of Science and Social Studies objectives. (password: wildcats)
- Have your child explore https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/ Then have them create a project about what they learned so they can share when we return.
- Have your child explore the Scientific Method. Have them complete the following write up https://www.teach-nology.com/worksheets/science/scientificmethod/outline.html
Other fun learning websites
Mrs. Schalow also gave the students a challenge. Log into clever and use the Type to Learn software to practice typing skills.
Khan Academy-https://www.khanacademy.org Has wonderful videos on every topic!
Homework on Powertest should be up and running. So you know, this week's Math Assignment will not show a score. Let me know if you have any questions.
Most importantly, enjoy this time with your family and stay healthy. Please reach out to me if you need anything at all, even if your kids just want to say Hello! I miss them greatly!
