*Remember: At home, students should be working on:
Math
Spelling
Health and Fitness (RHL PE class only takes care of the fitness part---your child will still need to complete health work at home)
Grammar / Punctuation
Literacy (Either the curriculum I provided or your own school-approved curriculum)
Science (If your child is not taking a science class at RHL)
September
21st-25th: If your child did not attend this week, please have them complete the following work at home to bring in on their next school day. This makeup work relates, in a small way, to the lessons we learned this week. If they do not turn this makeup work in, they will receive a zero.:
If they were gone Mon/Tues:
Have your child write the answers to these questions about Asia: Define desert, glacier, and archipelago. How many people live in Asia? What helps the giant panda to survive in its environment?
If they were gone Thurs/Fri:
We focused on the iReady in writing this week and will continue it next week. If your child will be gone for an extended period of time, please have them begin the iReady reading assessment (more info below). Otherwise, have them work on journaling (writing 3-8 sentences depending on their skill level about their pet, their favorite part of the day, favorite game, etc.) to help support their writing stamina and their comfort with writing.
14th-18th: If your child did not attend this week, please have them complete the following work at home to bring in on their next school day. This makeup work relates, in a small way, to the lessons we learned this week. They will receive partial credit.:
If they were gone Mon/Tues:
Have your child write the answers to these questions about South America: What is the name of the mountain range beside the Amazon Rainforest? What does ‘biodiverse’ mean (the rainforest is very biodiverse)? How big is the Amazon Rainforest and why is it important? How is the jaguar different from the leopard?
If they were gone Thurs/Fri:
Have your child write a list of 3-5 ideas for what they want to write their personal narratives about, and then circle the one they want to write about. Bear in mind that personal narratives are about a moment in time, and they are true stories that happened to them (not a friend). If a child wants to write about a vacation they took, for example, they can write about a part of that vacation, not the whole, entire, week-long trip.
8th-10th: If your child did not attend this week, please have them complete the following work at home to bring in on their next school day:
Please have them write complete sentences telling me:
Their favorite place (a complete sentence would look like: “My favorite place is the zoo.”)
Their favorite game
Their favorite season
Their favorite food
