Language Arts

      • This week, we will not do our regular weekly activities on Pearson Realize. We will be reading a chapter book together! It is called Donavan's Word Jar. It is written by Monalisa DeGross. It is about a boy who collects WORDS, just like we do when we do Word of the Day!
      • Usually you would all have your own copy of the book, but now I will be posting videos of myself reading the story.
      • You will listen to 2 chapters per day (2 videos) and answer the Google form questions that I post here. Enjoy!! You are going to LOVE this book!

AR Reading time!!!

      • Please read for 30 minutes today. Take AR quizzes HERE when you finish a book, the same way we do in the classroom :)

word of the day!

Let's be like Donavan and "collect" a new word!

      • Our word of the day is...assemble
      • It is a verb, or action word
      • It means...to put something together
      • Don't forget to draw your picture and write your sentence in your vocabulary journals. Use a capital letters and punctuation!

DISCUSS!

  • Have you ever assembled anything, or helped someone assemble it?
  • What toys involve assembling pieces to create something bigger?
  • When we have a gathering at school, why is it called an assembly?

When I was in elementary school, I helped my dad assemble my computer desk from Ikea.

SOCIAL STUDIES with Miss Scrofani & Miss Smith :)

      • Get your "Family Histories" magazine from your virtual learning folder
      • Read "We Are Family" on pages 2 and 3 with an adult
      • Think of a family you know...it could be your own family! Who is in the family? What is their family story?
      • Draw a picture of your family :) Send it to me if you'd like -- I'd love to see it!

you are awesome!

I'm so proud of you!!! Great job doing all of your work today! I miss you all!!! Here is a directed drawing that you can do if you want :) It's Winnie the Pooh in honor of Donavan's buddy, "Pooh!"
