*Rewrite a story you read from a different character’s point of view.

*How would you change the ending to a story you have read?

*Continue a story you’re reading and write what you think will happen.

*What is the theme of a story you read? Think of an event or direct quote that supports the theme.

*How has the main character changed throughout the book you’re reading?

*Read an article about a topic of your choice, summarize it, and find the main idea.

*Take some time to look around your house and see what books are available to you. Find a type of book that perhaps you haven’t had time to read in the past. As you read, create a reading goal for yourself. What space will you choose? How much will you read in a day? How often will you reflect on what you’ve read? Would you recommend this book? Who would you recommend it to?

  • Write/type, draw, talk about, and or use a digital creation tool such as Google Slides or Google Drawing to answer any or all of the questions.

MATH

*Make your own addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division flashcards and practice.

*Create your own real world word problems (such as calculating tip, total grocery bill, or driving distance) and give them to your family members to solve. Then, have them do the same for you.

*Draw a picture using as many shapes as you can. The challenge is to make them 3D shapes and build a structure using them.

*Calculate perimeter, area, surface area, and or volume for items in your house.

*Help your family cook a meal and write down any fractions you notice. What would the amounts be if you doubled the recipe or even tripled it?
