Hello everyone!
What an absolutely beautiful week we are having! I hope you are all continue to do well. I look forward to talking to all of you later this week!
Thank you for sending me your written assignments. I really enjoy reading each and every one of them. Pleae continue to do so.
Make sure to check your student emails a couple of times a week as I will be sending responses to your work and also some further instructions for some of the assignments. Here are the assignments for this week:
- Read 30 minutes daily. Now that the nice weather has arrived, take your reading outside. I have enjoyed reading on my deck and can't wait to be able to bring my book on the boat once it gets a little warmer.
Pick a page from the book you are reading. Change all of the nouns to things you see right in front of you in your house, then read it aloud. Remember, a noun is a person, a place or a thing. This could be a fun little activity. Take a picture of the page you chose and then a picture of your changes and send them my way. I will share some of the ones I receive with the rest of you.
- Billie Ellish said “In the public eye, girls and women with strong perspectives are hated. If you're a girl with an opinion, people just hate you. There are still people who are afraid of successful women, and that's so lame.” Write a response stating if you agree or disagree with her and explain why. Do some research to support your response.
- By the end of today, I will be sending you and email with your username, password and instructions for the new reading site we will be using. It is called "Current 4 Kids". The articles on this site are canadian and the content is interesting. The username and passwords were randomly generated by the site so some of them are kind of interesting. I am not sure if you will be able to change them or not.
Have a great week everyone!
