Students will be given a work package to take home to do during the school closure. We will go through the Lesson 1 of the Reading, Writing & Vocabulary workbook to make sure students understand how to do the work. Students will also be given a new novel, “Who is Malala Yousafzai?“ and a book study package to work on while reading this book. This is a library book, so students will need to return in once the school reopens. Students will also take home their journals to write in daily.
For the next few days, students will be working on the “Who Are Your Friends?” unit in class. If students are working from home, they should work on this unit this week.
While the school is closed, I will post a lesson each day on this blog for students to follow. It is important that you check the blog daily and do the lessons so that you will not fall behind. I have given students much more than enough work, in case the schools end up closing for longer than 3 weeks. Follow my instructions and spend about 2 hours each day doing the work that I assign. If you have any questions, I will be available each day from 12:00 – 3:00 to answer your questions. Please email me with any questions you have. I may also answer questions on this blog for the whole class. I will also be posting extra information related to the assignments that I have given you. Once the schools reopen, students will need to bring all the completed work back for me to mark, so it is important that you do the assignments and don’t fall behind.
*Any students who have been absent this week can come in to pick up their work packages in the classroom or in the office. They will be available for you until this Friday, unless things change and the school has to close earlier. I will also post each lesson on the blog every school day.
